    mound round this fort.
    There is another fort in the field called ("Paipc a Plirpa leapa"). There are a lot of little bushes growing in this fort. There are a lot of stones scattered round about. This is in a hollow and on this account none of the other forts can be seen from that one. When you are standing at either of the other forts this one is not visible.
    There are two mounds round this fort. There is only one part of the outer mound in it now but the inner one is to be seen plainly. It is now worn down and so it is nearly level with the land round it.
