What is recorded here

Thirty metres across, the ringfort in Tullig casts a shallow shadow on the eastern slope. Two earthen banks and a narrow ditch enclose the grass, while deciduous trees soften the ridges. The western entrance cuts through both banks like a forgotten door. cattle might have circled the inside, people might have watched the road from the trees, and the fairies might have kept the center for themselves.

In pasture, on E-facing slope, 150m to W of Tullig House. Circular area (31.7m ENE->WSW; 31.5m N-S) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse; external fosse (D 0.4m) SSW->SE. Berm along inner face of outer bank NNE->NNW. Inner (int. H 0.3m; 1.3m to base of fosse) and outer bank (int. H 1.2m to base of fosse; ext. H 0.9m) planted with deciduous trees. Entrance (Wth through inner bank 4m; outer bank 5.6m) to E. Third earthen bank SSW->NW concentric with fosse except to NW where it curves in towards second bank; may be later feature.
