NS3779 : The summit of Carman Hill
taken 7 years ago, near to Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

This area shown in the present picture lies within the inner enclosure of the old fort. The cairn, which is not quite at the summit, had recently been enlarged: NS3779 : Marker cairn on Carman Hill.
NS3778 : Carman Reservoir is in the right background.
This large hill-fort — see Link
(at Canmore) — was identified in 1954 from aerial photographs, and is thought to date from the Early Historic period (Dark Ages). See Link for a Geograph article on the fort. See Link

Known locally as the Dam. See Link (in a Geograph article) for further information. The reservoir, which was officially opened in 1886, is now disused; there is a trout fishery based alongside it. Carman Reservoir was created by damming and enlarging an existing Carman Loch, which was itself artificial: the loch had been created in connection with the nearby Millburn Works; it was also occasionally used for curling.
