See NS3779 : Ancient hill-fort on Carman Hill for the main description of the hill-fort. Click on the end-note title for related pictures, and see the annotated satellite view linked from the end-note as an index to these pictures and their positions in the fort.

Although it can be seen from this photograph that bracken was starting to spring up, a line of boulders is still clearly visible; those boulders lie along a rampart that forms the southern side of the outer wall of the hill-fort.

There is a single outer wall around most of the fort, but, as will be illustrated later in this series of items, there is a double wall on the eastern side, enclosing an annexe to the fort.

As for the background, the distant housing schemes are those above Bonhill; the dark wooded summit of Pappert Hill is placed centrally in the background, with the distant Campsie Fells beyond.
