Fort, St Agnes (Stenton).
A curvilinear fort with double ramparts and ditches on the end of a spur that lies between the Whiteadder Water and the Bothwell Water, a quarter of a mile WNW of St Agnes. At some former time the Whiteadder has washed into the base of the spur at this point, and the ensuring landslips have destroyed the whole of the S side of the fort. It seems probable, however, that the work was oval on plan and measured internally 300 ft from E to W by some 250 ft from N to S. The ramparts, which are still just visible on the ground at the W end of the fort, are 50 ft apart measured from crest to crest, but their original widths can only be determined by excavation (1).
(1) 541 A 472, 3178-9.
