065 A small eminence on the east side of the town of Kintore from which several articles of an interesting nature were dug some few years since.
"Near to the Castle Hill, and from ten to twelve feet under the surface, were found various small pits of a circular or oval shape, from three to four feet in length, two or three feet in breadth, and from one to two and a half feet in depth. These contained burnt clay, charcoal, and bones. In one of them an urn was found, containing a damp mealy substance of a pale colour, and round another of the pits were found pieces of a substance resembling solid lead, of the thickness of a small gas pipe. These were found firmly embedded in the ground, in a vertical position, about eight feet below the surface, in bits of a few inches in length". Sculptured Stones of Scotland
This knoll is supposed to be a natural feature.
