NS 6800 7511 to NS 6866 7528 The published course (OS 25 inch 1968) was resurveyed. There are no ground remains apart from the spread profile of the Ditch and Outer Mound preserved at the hedge lines at NS 6819 7517 and at NS 6840 7523. The modified line is based on the re-examination of the 2nd edition of the OS 25 inch map (Dumbartonshire 1898, sheet 33/3) survey, and the evidence at NS 6842 7523. The repositioned alignment angle W of NS 6840 7523 was deduced from the 1898 survey in conjunction with the ground topography and CUCAP aerial photographs GN67-80 (1951).
