192 THE HEADS OF BOWMONT WATER 



not seen this fort, but has the information from a friend who 

 has visited it. 



No. 10. Enclosure of homestead type similar to No. 7. It 

 is on the south slope of Park Law, about midway between the 

 brow of the hill and the river Bowmont. 



No. 11. Fort on Bonnielaws. It is on the angle formed by 

 the ridge coming from Park Law and the face of Bonnielaws, 

 running parallel with Cheviot burn. It faces over to the 

 Cocklaw, and would command a view of the passage by that, as 

 well as two other passes coming over the ridge from Breamish 

 and Coquetdale. The fort itself is irregular, and is much 

 ruined, and would be difficult to measure. There are remains 

 of hut circles ; and oa the angle descending to Cocklawfoot are 

 the remains of an ancient roadway of well-formed Catrail type. 

 There are also, close to this path, some tumuli or burial mounds. 



No. 12. Cluster of enclosures hollowed out on higher 

 side, and with mound in front, of homestead type (see 

 measured Plan given, Plate VIII.) This is a good example of 

 dwellings and enclosures, not of the nature of a fort. 



No. 13. Oval enclosure, 98 feet by 88 feet, scooped out 

 on higher side. This is the enclosure previously referred to 

 as having the hollow way passing into it at one side and out 

 at the other. This is the only instance of such direct connection 

 remaining, so far as the writer knows. There is something 

 similar shown, according to the Ordnance Maps, on Parkhouse 

 Hill near Galashiels, where the Catrail is seen passing through 

 a small enclosure, but this cannot now be traced. 



No. 14. Cluster above the Back Burn on slope of Swindon 

 Hill, of homestead type, scooped out on upper side. There 

 are two large oval areas, 120 feet by 87 feet, and 108 feet by 

 96 feet respectively ; and a third oval about half the size of 

 these. The mounds are strongly formed on the lower or 

 front side. There are several hut circles in each, and also 

 one outside the entrance of the largest enclosure. 



No. 15. Cluster of enclosures in meadow-land south of 

 Kelso Oleuch, very similar to No. 14, but more obliterated. 



No. 16. Cluster of Homesteads or pastoral village, on the 

 Stoney-knowe, about three-fourths of a mile south of Kelso 

 Cleuch, which are very remarkable (see measured Drawing, 

 Plate IX.)
