(NX 6955 5336) Carse Mote (NR)
OS 6" map (1946)
"Carse Moat", Fort: The level summit of this hill has been steeply scarped, 5 to 10 feet high, to form an elliptical area 165 by 140 feet, with evidence of a stony rapart at the NE angle. The entrance was probably on the east side where the scarp is broken by a track. A rampart, 12 feet wide, and 3 1/2 feet high crosses the ridge 21 feet north of the scarped area. No similar rampart can be seen to the south.
