037 | A small eminence nearly level on the farm of Dryloch. "A conical mount in this parish called Saddle Hillock is said to have been made use of by the English, perhaps to command the ford at Dellavaird. The Hillock stands upon a very level field, is of considerable height, and has upon its top the remains of a small earthen fort, evidently artificial & appears from an opening made in its side to have been composed of large stones, some of which are smoothed as if they had been taken from the river. Whether it was erected on this occasion or whether it might not have been much more ancient, it is not easy to determine." Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] |

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 county of Angus, which is in the east of Scotland.
