Rev.[Reverend] Alexander McLean Rev. [Reverend] James Walker Mr Walter Watson Johnston's County Map dated 1816 Forrest's County Map |
026.07 | The moat situated at the west end of Carnwath village is evidently artificial but at what date it was erected cannot be ascertained. It is of a form somewhat elliptical, the diameter from east to west being longer than from north to south. It is about 27 feet in height. there is a hollow on the top where it is said there was an entrance to a side stair that reached to the bottom. This has suggested the idea that the moat was intended as a burying-place. It has evidently been a place of strength as it was surrounded by a deep ditch and mound which can still be faintly traced. No information either historical or traditional can be obtained as to its having been a seat of justice in ancient times. |
