NT52SE 30 5816 2093
What may be the remains of a fort can be discerned under heavy vegetation within the heavily-quarried area to the NW and W of Fatlips Castle (NT52SE 10). An arc of curving rampart (measuring about 4.1m in thickness and at least 0.6m in height) appears to run roughly NE-SW for a distance of 43m along the break of a natural slope about 60m NW of the Castle, and another length of at least 27m survives in a similar situation further to the WSW. No remains can be identified on the small summit plateau, and the fort has presumably been constructed to incorporate areas of natural outcrop.
Visited by RCAHMS (RM/JRS) 29 September 1993.
