Full Description
NH54NE 22 563 454
At least 50 yards can be traced with certainty of what may have been a rampart or raised causeway, now very eroded, with silted up ditch on each side 5 yards apart and running NE-SW. There appears to be another parrallel ditch for a short distance on the south side. This linear earthwork survives in a small spinney and may be the last trace of the sounce, which was mentioned in the Wardlaw manuscript, as being at Kingillie in 1644. It is more likely to be an old road, built up in the marsh.
