The only high ground in the neighbourhood of the fort (NS05SE 4) from whence the smallest apprehension could be entertained of its being assailed by any sort of weapons before the use of gunpowder, was a hill at some distance to the north-east, known by the name of Little Dun, or little fort, and from the remains of dykes and excavations – some natural and others appearing to be artificial - it is probable that this hill was in use to be held as an outwork to the principal garrison.
