011 | The largest, - and centre - of three Mounds; each of which greatly resembles the remains of a Picts house. There is no further evidence than the name to show that there ever was a Gallows on this Mound but at its north side - between it and the mound adjacent to it on that side - human bones were exhumed a few year ago Said to have been the remains of a man who committed suicide in this locality and was buried there |
