Carman Hill-fort: line of outer enclosure

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Carman Hill-fort: wall of outer enclosure This is the second in a series of ten linked items showing the structure of an ancient hill-fort on Carman Hill (for an in-depth discussion of its history, see 697526).

Like the previous item in this series, this photo shows part of the wall of the outer enclosure of the hill-fort, as indicated by the receding line of boulders in the foreground; this photo was taken near the south-western corner of the wall.

The following satellite image shows the line of the outer wall (the photo was taken from the position of the yellow marker): http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=111659464483026017583.00046bfcb8ebb9bf31adf&ll=55.980108,-4.61138&spn=0.002635,0.006523&t=h&z=18

Carman Reservoir is visible in the middle distance. In the background, the double peak of Dumbarton Rock (a volcanic plug, NS3974) can be seen on the near shore of the River Clyde; the distant tower blocks visible near the left-hand edge of the photo are in Bellsmyre (NS4076), with the escarpment of the Kilpatrick Hills behind them.
