NT63NW 14 6194 3582
(NT 6194 3584) On the east knoll of Brotherstone South Hill, is a fort-like enclosure measuring 132ft x 117ft, formed by a single rampart of stones 12ft in width, with entrance at SE. The remains are too slight to be pronounced as those of a fort; but the nature of the site defended by a steep slope to the north, and gentle slopes elsewhere, would suggest such an origin.
J H Craw 1921.
Generally as described above, this sub-circular enclosure 42m x 43m, consists of a single earth-and-stone rampart 5m broad and 0.3m in height.
(Visible on RAF air photographs 106G/Scot/Uk 18 7117).
