This field belongs to the mansion of Broomhill, the property of Captain McNeil Hamilton and is part of the ornamental grounds. It is a well known name. On the authority of William Smillie of Raploch, the chapel stood, from tradition, at the place written "Old Wall", which though now without what is considered the Chapel Rone Field, was part of the "Rone" before the present avenue and plantation was made. The other authorities, which are older, do not believe the wall to be part of the chapel, but rather the remains of a few houses which stood there about 60 years ago, and bore the name of Shepherd's Neuk, a name which is now altogether disused.

"There is a conical rising ground (gallowhill) south east of Larkhall, where it is said, culprits used in ancient times to be executed".
New Statistical Account.
The name applies to the houses between "Muir's Place", and "Quoad sacra church", but principally to the house by the side of the Parish road, from turnpike road, leading to "Bowmans Flat". There is no hill or knowe here now, but there appears to have been some elevated ground about the houses to which the name is written. None of the older persons of the locality remember of the hill, but from the name being so generally used to the house where the name is written, it is likely that it stands on the Gallowhill. The name could not be repeated to the elevated portion of ground. |

This tumulus was destroyed by the present farmer of Dalpatrick - Mr William Henderson, who found the stone coffin and urn alluded to in New Statistical Account.
It was, before it was destroyed, composed of stones like a cairn.
The site of it is well known.

Upon the authority of W. Henderson, Farmer, Dalpatrick, the site of Saint Patrick's Chapel", is where the tumulus stood, but this seems to be more an opinion than from tradition or otherwise. Mr John Johnstone, Hamilton, who lived here about 40 years ago, has heard the tree at the tumulus named the hiyin mary tree", This is the only thing which shows a probability of the chapel site being upon the tumulus. The stones taken from the tumulus, as stated by Mr W. Henderson of Dalpatrick, did not appear to be foundation stones, or the ruins of a building. |

Cairncockle (continued) XXIV - II Trace 1
This name is well known in the Parish as applying to the highest spot in Dalserf, but the remains of the Cairn have never been seen by the oldest resident in the locality - Mr J Watson of Burnhead, who has been there nearly 90 years. Since hollow places resembling Land-holes, as stated by Mr Watson, were seen near the top of it before the Plantation was made. There are no appearances now of any ditch or fortification around this feature, which is as irregular in form as the sketch in Examination Trace shows it. Half the distance between the top & bottom is sketched. The name is written on the top, or level - at the top. It does not appear to have been artificial. |
