Deil's Knap (Continued 034 [continued from page 4]
There are some very faint traces of the artificial Knap which stood upon the little hill now called "Deils Knap", a name generally known in the Parish. Dales Knap, of which "Deils Knap" is said in the account quoted to be a vulgar corruption, would hardly be recognised in Lunan. The remains shown on the Examination Trace have not been adopted upon authority, but from the appearance of the ground.

034 Another Knap upon the authority of Messrs. Rodgers and Fullarton, stands a short distance to the north west of "Deils Knap" separated by the Pte [Private] road which runs between. This Knap upon the authority of Mr Rodger is a natural rock, but always spoken of as the "Knap" at Swilston, the name of the field it is in. Upon the authority of Mr. Fullarton this formerly (in his time from 30 to 40 years ago) had an artificial mound or "Knap" upon it. Nothing to the best of his recollection was got when it was destroyed. "Knap" has been adopted to this in the ordinary character of writing as in the case of Deil's Knap which is a name, so far as understood now, applying to a small hill in an arable field. The remains shown of the former are natural.

040 At "Newton" (40-4 Trace 3) in a field called "Fause Castle", there is another Knap which is a natural feature, composed of rock beneath the surface, upon the authority of Mr Rodger, but as stated by Mr Fullarton this, like the Knap last or above described, had an artificial mound upon it. Nothing however has been shewn by the information given that anything like ashes or Urns &c. had been found when it was destroyed. The term or Name "Knap" has been adopted to this Knap in the usual character of writing merely as a well known object in the locality.

040 The next Knap in succession, going westwards, is in a field adjoining the farm house of Cothill (40-4 Trace 5) called "Graham's Hillock", a well established, & a very popular name in the place. This, by the intelligent people of the Parish - The Revd. [Reverend] Mr Hay, Mr. Salmond, & Mr Rodgers, is regarded as of artificial construction, which is represented on the Examination Trace as it at present appears. It is
