NO43SW 31 4032 3052.

(NO 4032 3052) Where the 16th century town wall changed course at Panmure Street for Wellgate (NO43SW 12), there was a fortififed position. In 1621 this was termed "the town's blockhouse at the meadow". This defensive work, which appears to have stood forward from the angle of the wall, was afterwards called the "Lion's Round" and is shown as such on Crawford's map (information from Crawford' map, 1776).

A Maxwell 1891.
