[names] Lowrie's Knowe (remains of) [Authorities] Revd. [Reverend] Mr. Reid, Mr Hardie (Pitlessie) Mr. Lumsdain (Kirkland) [situation] A little S.E. [South East] of Kettlebridge. [descriptive remarks] The remains of a small mound or hillock supposed to be artificial. It was planted with trees & is traditionally said to be the spot where the feudal Baron of Forthar hanged a man named "Lowrie", hence its name.On making the line of road from Pettycur to Cupar part of this knowe was removed but no remains of any kind were discovered.
[Note:] " There are situated in different parts of this parish, eight barrows or tumuli : in several of which human bones have been found. Three of these barrows have names viz Pundler's Know, and Lowrie's Know, which are on the lands of Forthar, and Lackerstone on the lands of Kettle. Leighton's Hist. [History] of Fife Vol II [Volume 2] p. 241. "
Transcriber's notes
I think the reference to "Pundlers Knowe" (unclear) may be Peddlers Knowe, elsewhere in the parish.

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
