020 | " Under an arid and almost perpendicular point of Drummore hill the fatal 'pit' of the ancient lords was situated" ......... "although from natural deposit and the exuberance of brushwood" (it) "is barely traceable," Land of the Lindsays. The site is in a very wet place in the "Moat" surrounding the "Castle Hillock, and is partly enclosed by a paling, There is now no brushwood on the spot, but as Mr Jarvise states the "pit" is barely traceable, and except that the place is more marshy than the rest, there is nothing remarkable about it. |
