The plan and description given in the Proceedings (v.34, 62) are correct as far as they go, but make no mention of vitrifaction. I found loose vitrified material lying in the well, and in the modern cairn built near the well: also in situ in the second rampart from the interior on the W side. In the last case the vitrified material was buried in the core of the wall and had been exposed in a sheep-rub.
The enclosure attached to the N end of the fort appears to be contemporary, and the terrace outside and parallel to the fourth rampart may be either a filled ditch or the remains of a levelled fifth rampart. The entrance was probably round the ends of the ramparts on the N. There are no internal features apart from the well which at the present time is simply a circular muddy hollow in the ground.
