011.09 | "On top of Knockmade, a hill on the Kame, in the Ph. [Parish] of Lochwinnoch are the remains of a hill fort. The round dyke formed an enclosure occupying the South end of the hill. " Paisley Magazine 1828 page 524. Mr. Orr, on whose farm the hill is, drew my attention to two circles, one inside the other, on the summit of this hill, which were represented by stones occuring at irregular distances, and by slight hollows in the surface. He told me a hill fort is supposed to have been here, but at what period he could not inform me. In his young days the circles were much better defined, and more observable than at present. The two extracts above are the only written records of it I could find. I think, judging from the appearances of the ground, that the fact of a fort having been here is wholly conjectural _ The site certainly favors the supposition J.B. Capt R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers] |
| Site of TUMULUS [Knockmade Hill] | Site of Tumulus | Fowlers Paisley directory Paisley magazine 1828. Mr. Love = writer Mr. Orr. Farmer |
011.09 | About 30 years ago. Mr. Orr dug away a large mound of earth (about 30 ft [feet] long, and 20ft [feet] broad) in a field a little west of Knockmade Hill. Under the mound was a large freestone flag, cracked into three parts, and below the flag were found several small pieces of burnt wood, and some ashes - I have marked the spot on trace ___ |

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 Renfrew, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
