Three Piked Stane (Supposed site of Druidical Temple) |
Revd [Reverend] John Anderson Minister Dornock
James Rae Laborer Stapleton |

[Situation] On the boundary between Dornock and Annan
A large stone about 3 feet long 2 feet wide, and about 1 foot thick; built into a bank a little to the west of Upper Woodhead, it is said to contain three holes, and that to that circumstance it owes its name. There are no holes visible on the exposed side, the other side is completely built up, so I could not ascertain whether it contained any holes or not.
From the appearance and size of several stones built into banks near this place, it is quite evident that they have been removed from the Druidical Temple said to have been on this spot. |

[Situation] In Dornock Grave - yard.
Two stones about 7 feet long, and of a triangular shape - each side being about 2 feet. "New Statistical Account page 257" - "There may be seen in the churchyard two stones of a singular shape, resting on blocks of the same material, which are supposed to contain the ashes of the commanders of the English army" The battle where the above commanders lost their lives is said to have been at Sword Well - but the date is unKnown. From the hieroglyphics on two sides, of each of the above stones, they appear to be of far more ancient date, than the battle referred to above. The stones are at present lying on the ground, and are not "resting on blocks of the same material" as stated above. |

[Situation] Towards the S,En [South Eastern] point of the County of Dumfries
The Name of this Parish is Compounded of Gaelic doire A wood And Cnoc - a hill. As the features of the district do not confirm this derivation probably Dornochel - the bare water is more descriptive.
The Parish of Dornock is bounded on the North by those of Annan and Kirkpatrick-Fleming, on the East by Gretna, on the South by the Solway Firth and on the West by Annan. A portion of the Parish is detached which is bounded on the North, East and South by Kirkpatrick-Fleming and on the West by Annan, the Area of which being about 523 Acres. The Parish which nearly forms a Square, measures about 4 miles in length and 2 1/2 miles in breadth And its entire Area has now been computed at 5,779 Impl [Imperial] Acres 3/4 of which Are arable. The Soil in general is loam on brick earth, And though rather damp in winter is productive of luxuriant crops. The entire district is flat. The Coast along the Solway Firth is about 2 1/2 miles in extent and which is also low And sandy and wears altogether a monotonous aspect. Kirtle Water A Considerable Stream traces the Nn [Northern] boundary of the detached part of Parish, Dornock Burn a Considerable brook flows through the Centre of Parish, a few small rills from the interior contributing their waters thereto. No minerals are wrought in

in the district nor Manufactory of any consequence carried on. The Glasgow and South-Western Railway runs across the Southern division of Parish nearly from West to East, - also two Turnpike Roads from the east side traverse the Northern and southern districts respectively in a S.Wn. [South Western] and Wn [Western] direction to the town of Annan where they join. The only village is Dornock which consists of one Street of Cottages inhabited chiefly by Agricultural labourers And Weavers. In it are the Parish Church and School. Population of the Parish 950.
A large Stone situate on the Wn [Western] Parish Boundary now called Three Piked Stane is said to have belonged originally to a Druidical Circle And is also identified as having formed, part of the Cross of St Marjory (See Page7.) to which Saint the original Ph [Parish] Church was dedicated. The Old Statistical Account of Dornock says "There is the remains of a Druidical Circle near Woodhead, though Some of the Stones of late have been carried away. The Stone in which a wooden Cross stood, also still remains. It was called St Marjory's Cross"- It would appear from information obtained on the ground that both of these Antiquities the Druidical Circle and St Marjory's Cross are represented by this Stone. - A Spring called Sword Well on the Wn [Western] boundary is pointed out as the Site of a Battle between the English and Scots in which the former were defeated. Tomb-Stones having Latin inscriptions thereon are yet extant in the church- yard which tradition also Assigns to be those Commemorative of the english generals who fell in the battle. The Old Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Dornock says "A Spring-well on the muir where the battle was fought Still bears the name of the Sword Well, probably from some these weapons having been found there after the battle." Two strong border towers now partly modernized have been shewn, of which nothing is Known beyond, their having been used in the time of border feuds. The Church, of which Chalmers in, his Caledonia remarks "the Church of Dornock was dedicated to St Marjory, who is not however mentioned by the Sanctologists.
