NS 6730 7486 to NS 6750 7496 The published course (OS 50 inch 1970) was resurveyed. No trace across rough grass. The 2nd edition of the OS 2 and a half inch (Stirlingshire 1898, sheet 33/2) shows a fairly extant survey of the Ditch and Outer Mound, the Ditch still being observed as a 'broad shallow depression' as late as 1957 by an OS field investigator. Revised line with the repositioned alignment angle was based on re-examination of the 1898 survey. The revised line does coincide with the published line in the area of the excavated remains at NS 6741 7492.
