065 | A middling - sized farmsteading, one storey, part thatched and part tiled, in the estate of Kirkhill. It was at one time a separate estate, the proprietor having a somewhat fortified residence where the present houses stand. Property of Sir Alexander Bannerman Bart.[Baronet]. |
| TUMULI [Tyrebagger Hill] | Tumuli Tumuli Tumuli |
Revd. [Reverend] J. S. Kemp Mr. G. W. Kemp Mr William Thomson, Inspector of Poor, Newhills & Forester |
065 | This cluster of tumuli is situate near to the boundary between Dyce and Newhills, in the woods on the south side of Tyrebeggar Hill. They are small stone circles about 18 feet in diameter, are not known except to very few, (who have their information from myself) and would have escaped observation but that the wood has lately been cut down for fresh planting. These have exactly the same appearance as the groups near to the Druidical Temple on the other side of the hill, and it is very likely that the hilly and wooded ground which intervenes may also have tumuli scattered over it. The tradition respecting the cairns in this Parish is that they mark the spots where the slain were interred after some ancient battle. |
