Wardlaw Hill NS 3592 3276 NS33SE 5

A rough circular fort, measuring about 60m in internal diameter, is situated on the summit of Wardlaw Hill. The E half of the defences has been obliterated, but on the NW there is an earthern rampart (about 4.5m thick by 0.6m high) which extends around the SW as a scarp up to 2.5m high. A short length of external ditch is visible on the NW, and also around the SW; on the latter it is about 4.5m broad and there is an external rampart 5m thick by 0.5m high.
