82. Fort-like Enclosures, Coldingham Loch.

Situated on the end of a knoll, at an elevation of 520 feet above sea-level, to the west of the northwest end of Coldingham Loch and some 550 yards to the north- west of Westloch House, is a small circular enclosure surrounded by a low stony bank, measuring some 135 feet by 111 feet, and entered from the north-west and south-east. In the interior are two circular depressions measuring in diameter respectively 27 and 24 feet (fig. 44). On lower ground, some 12 feet to the south-east, is a smaller and oblong enclosure of similar character measuring 90 feet by 51, containing two circular foundations of 30 and 24 feet in diameter, and a smaller and rectangular enclosure. The entrance appears to have been from the south-east. Some 34 yards further to the south-east lies a third enclosure, elliptical in outline, measuring 69 feet by 57 feet.
