THB HEADS 0^ BOWMONT WATER l9d 



The Stoney-knowe is a moraine projecting across the valley ; 

 and along the crest of this, and on the sides, the dwellings 

 and enclosures have been formed. Some of the large ones on 

 the side next the small burn have elongated openings in that 

 direction, suggesting that they were used for cattle, and that 

 access was had to the burn for watering purposes. A hollow 

 way leaves the main entrance, and can be traced up the bank, 

 curving in the direction of No. 15, and probably joining the 

 line of track in the meadow beyond. Another hollow and 

 mound curve away from the Stoney-knowe southward, and 

 crossing the burn, seem to lead to the pastures in the 

 head of the valley. 



No. 17. Large enclosure of homestead type, which has been 

 interfered with and altered. It has probably been occupied by 

 a middle age farm steading.* 



No. 18. Large enclosure on Hayhope Hill, horse-shoe shaped, 

 with single mound and ditch, enclosing a space about 400 

 feet long. The ends of mound run down to, and rest on, the 

 steep brow facing Kelso Oleuch : probably a fence was drawn 

 across between the two ends. Inside the area are three very 

 distinct hut circles, but there is no indication of others ever 

 having existed. Possibly this was an enclosure for flocks, 

 with the huts for the attendants. 



No. 19. Large oval fort, on the front of White-knowe, on the 

 Cocklaw, 320 feet long, with triple ramparts, but the whole 

 is much ruined. The position is very commanding. 



No. 20. Fragment of oval camp on Fundhope Rig, with 

 one rampart. 



No. 21. Oval enclosure 220 feet long, one rampart, — of 

 homestead type. 



No. 22. Mound and ditch of the character of a fortification, 

 running across the ridge about three-fourths of a mile above 

 Calroust Castles. Has been meant to command the passage 

 along the ridge. 



No. 23. Work similar to No. 22, formed across the narrow 

 part of Cocklaw ridge, up which ran one of the ancient roads 

 previously traced. Fortified lines such as these are not unusual. 

 Southward from the district we are now considering, near the 

 summit of the ridge between the L^sway and the Alwin, runs 

 * Font's Map gives a place named Bondlashed about this spot.
