| GALLOWS HILL | Gallows Hill | Mr. John Wood Mr. William Reith Mr. Durno |
028 | A partially cultivated hill on the property of the late Garden Hatton Esq. There appears to be very little Know about this hill, except the name; but for a considerable extent (limited to the red doted line encircling the hill on Traces) - about it; and particularly on the southern side appears to have been occupied by ancient Military as several sites of camps still remain on the uncultivated portion of the base; there is also a great many hillocks from some of which human remains have been taken, and as many of those as are now visible are marked on the plans and also the "Camp" sites. From the various shapes of Arrow-heads occasionally found here it would appear that Military had been stationed here on more than one occasion, and that it was a place of many a fatal Scene. The camps were circular, and Urns have been found here. |
