An Antiquity |
|
|
Seemingly, an old antiquity situated on the farm of Compstone end and on the south west side of Castle hill, it was fortified with an artificial foise and bank on the north and an inclining bank on the west, east and south. Have made minute inquiry both when I was examining the trace and lately as I suspected that the name of the hill had reference to the object in question and also its own appearance but I could not find any one to inform me what it was or to give me the least intelligence abut it save Mr. Arbackle who considers from its appearance that it must be some old antiquity. I consider myself by comparing it with similar objects, that it is a fort and that the hill took its name from it. |

Castle Hill |
An Eminence |
|
|
A small natural eminence on the farm of Underwood. Covered with Brushwood and small stones, Mr. Spruat (Kempleton) says that it is supposed that a castle stood here, also Mr. McMonies states that the Honorable Mongomery Stewart was speaking to him about the existance [??] of it, and at the same time remarked that the first time he went to Edinburgh he should have some papers looked over in order to see whether the tradition in the locality was authentic or not. I have visited the eminence myself and I find that there was a dry stone wall around it margin on the top, but I could not see the least [???] in my oppinion they cannot as there is not the least appearance of lime amongst them. On the north side I observed partially part of artificial work on each sided of a passage apprently made for ingress and egress. From its appearance and situation compred with others, that I have inquired about, I would be ready to believe that it was a Fortress cowal with those that |

that are to be seen along the coast of Galloway, which are generally termed castle [??]. This was not a likely place to have erected a castle [??] as these are more suitable and more commanding spots in the vicinity nor neither can it be guarrated that suh existed here - further than tradition supposes, probably more from the name than from any substantial evidence as none of my informants could confidently say that a castle existed here |

[??] Mr. Kellorham Gardner at Compstone, states it is said that the catle stood on a small eminence pointed out to this day as the castle hill, apparently on it the foundation is still to be seen (see margin of Trace) Mr. R McQueen says thta he was working on the castle hill, cleaning away the rubbish when he came to walls built with lime stone seemingly like the form of a house. Consequently he was confirmed (Turn over) |
