Fortified site Lindowey burn (unnoted)
In the angle formed by the junction of the
Lindowey burn with the main water of Luce
is a large flat topped isolated rock covered
with trees and vegetation, surrounded on the
S. [South] and E [East] by a chasm in the rock and
the glen of the burn and on the N. [North] side by the
river above which it rises some 50'. Towards
its Western end the chasm has been bridged
over by a wall of dry stone masonry for a
length of 7' and with a width of 10' as far as as:
:certainable. On the NW. [North West] a regular pathway
leads to the summit. Around the top
there are no signs of fortifications nor is
the rock noted as a fortified site but except
for such an occupation the bridging of the
chasm is difficult to account for.
Motored on up a hill road to High Marks
thence a long hot walk into the moors to a
point near the Ayrshire border.
