Carman Hill-fort: line of outer enclosure
The rocks are in a line, curving slightly to the left as it recedes from view; that is the outer enclosure of the fort: see Link in the article linked from the end-note for further comments on the outer enclosure. The present view is from its southernmost extremity; see NS3779 : Carman Hill-fort: line of outer enclosure for a view in the opposite direction from the same point.
In the background, the facade of the Campsie Hills is directly behind the nearest stone. The more distant Fintry Hills are to the left, and the Kilpatrick Hills to the right. The areas of housing are part of New Bonhill. The wooded Pappert Hill is visible in front of the Campsie Hills.

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
