Scope and Content Fort, Devonshaw Hill, Lanarkshire This fort occupies a rocky knoll on the south-west spur of Devonshaw Hill. Oval on plan, it has two ramparts, the outer of which can no longer be traced around the E. The stances of at least five timber round-houses can be seen within the interior. The plan shows the defences of the fort and the grooves and platforms defining the stances of the timber round-houses within the interior. The small enclosure to the NE may be a prehistoric settlement, but the banks to the SE are of unknown date. Large numbers of forts are found throughout the Border counties and into Lanarkshire. Most were occupied in the middle centuries of the first millennium BC and many, as here, contain surface traces of the stances of timber round-houses. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
