Giant’s Dike Hillfort consists of a ruined wall surrounding the upper slopes of Barstobrick Hill c. 1.75 miles N of Ringford in Dumfries and Galloway. According to Canmore ID 64189 (go to Links) there are remnants of the wall running from N to S on the hill, the E Flank relying on a steep craggy slope for natural defence. The internal area of the fort has no significant features beyond the modern addition of Nielson’s Monument on the summit of Barstobrick Hill.
