Fort, Grinnan Hill of Keir.
The plan and description given in the Proceedings (Christison 1900) are adequate except that the outer pair of ramparts appear as banks, and not as terraces, and there are now no definite indications of an outer ditch. The inner rampart has totally disappeared, except at the point marked on the plan. The outer pair show no trace of stone and seem to have been constructed simply of upcast from the ditch. There are no internal features. [Section sketch in typescript]
