- (continued from previous page)The fort (A) on Butler's land near Beeverstown Cross is in a very good state of preservation. It is circular, having a moat inside an embankment, the moat being about fifteen feet deep. There is a passage leading into it. The fort is about 80 yards in diameter. There is a ring of low bushes growing on the outside of the embankment, and at no point except the entrance is the circle broken. The embankment is about 5 yards wide but does not rise as high as the inside of the fort.
