It resembles a Camp in its formation. & possibly may have been one, but no authentic account to favour this supposition can be gleaned in the vicinity. It is generally termed "The Orchard" but a misapplication now, as no fruit trees grown upon it. Its situation is in a low-lying field close to the Cairn water. |
