Carman Hill: a terrace-like feature
This is the downhill edge (the southeastern extremity) of the main group of NS3779 : Boulders on Carman Hill. Stones enclose a terrace-like feature; it can be seen that the line of stones in the central foreground has (presumably) been worked centuries ago so that their surfaces are flat and level with each other, and their outward-facing sides vertical. See NS3779 : Carman Hill: a terrace-like feature for a view back from the other side, and NS3779 : Carman Hill: a terrace-like feature for the feature as a whole.
On the various groups of boulders on this hill, see Link in the article linked from the end-note.
The Clyde is in the background. On its far side, the land that juts out from the left extends to Gourock. The Firth of Clyde opens out beyond that.

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
