Marked as an ancient earthwork, the site contains the later gravesite attributed to some Covenanters.
Forty years ago, having seen an iron age fort marked on the map, I climbed the hill and looked all round the slopes where I thought it was supposed to be, but couldn't see any sign of it....When I went back down the hill I mentioned it to the old gamekeeper's widow, who said, "That's the Martyrs' Hill, with the graves of the Covenanters on it."
Later I realised I had been walking all over the site, which, naturally was on the hilltop instead of down the slopes where I expected it - D'oh!!
Yesterday, I revisited what is apparently the site of the Covenanters' graves. It's a nicely 'mature' bit of hilltop woodland with Scots Pines and some lovely old oaks, blaeberries, mosses and loads of what George Peterken calls 'coarse deadwood' (CDW) a great indicator of natural forest conditions.text/html2012-05-14T15:45:47+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/36748Ed Iglehart54.905964 -3.842561NX8158 : Covenanters' gravesite on "Martyrs' Hill"
