NS 5300 7665 to NS 5321 7250 The published survey (OS 50 inch 1970) was revised. No ground remains, apart from a spread linear mound, about 0.7m high, traversing the N side of the football ground E of NS 5300 7665. This corresponds with the accepted line of the Rampart (Macdonald 1934) and the pecked course as shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 2 and a half inch map (Dunbartonshire 1918, sheet 23/8 and 23/12).
The only pre-development aerial photograph available for this sector (CUCAP aerial photograph U60) shows the line and alignment angle but at a distance too great for exact observation. Available RAF aerial photographs (1959) post-date the development in this sector.
