Carman Hill: a hollow way west of the fort
The Canmore report for the fort (see the end-note) states that "on the west, a hollow-way leads up to the fort, but this may be of recent origin". This is a view up it; it enters the outer enclosure of the fort about 30 metres ahead, which is roughly where, in this picture, the hollow way itself disappears from view as it passes over a brow of the slope.
For a view back down the hollow way from that point, and for further comments, see NS3779 : Carman Hill: a hollow way west of the fort.

Carman Hill-fort
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
