Mr D Russel Inchgall Mill Mr D. Shand Mr Bogie Pitkenny |
031 | A pretty large hill on the farms of North and South Pitkenny and Inchgall Mill. There is a tradition in this locality that the Romans fought a battle here but the exact spot where it happened cannot be ascertained. Some supposed it was at the remains of a cairn which is on the south side of the hill. There is only about one half of this cairn now to be seen the rest was taken away for building dykes. Mr Russel says he found several human bones spears etc when carting away the stones. In order to preserve the rest of the Cairn it was planted |

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.
