Druids and Romans

There is historical evidence that there was at one time a druidical circle opposite the cemetery lodge to the north of the public road in the Kirk Hill / Cunninghar Hill area. It was about 130 feet in diameter. At one time a number of old druidical stones, 5 and a half feet high stood in the circle but these were supposedly removed by a builder to build a dyke with.

At the north end of the Cunninghar Hill several urns containing human bones were dug up leading to the conclusion that the Romans had a station in this area. An old rusty sword of Roman origin was dug up a bit further east towards Harviestoun Castle giving further indication of a Roman presence in the area.
