Fort, Friar’s Nose, Killmade Burn.
The Inventory plan is accurate as far as the defences are concerned, but there are only two round stone huts visible in the interior (i.e. against the inner rampart on the W side, near the NW entrance). On the Inventory plan every small group of loose stones - of which there are a large number – has been formalised into a hut. There are definitely no huts between the ramparts.
Ramparts A and C have been stone walls, D appears to be simply an upcast mound, while B, which is only present on the W, is in a very wasted condition and looks as though it may have belonged to an earlier system. The short length of rampart marked E on the sketch may have been part of this system. Early Iron Age date.
