Mr. Alexander Jeffrey in his - "Sketches from the Traditional History of Burghead" - Says - "Nothing is known of this eminence, lying a short distance South of the town, further than that tradition has preserved the name, and that it appears to have been in the neighbourhood of a Pictish Colony - the latter fact being Established by the discovery of Stone-lined graves and Scotch Kjokkenmoddings on different parts of its Surface. Very likely it owes its name to St. Bennet, and may have been So Called by the priors of Pluscarden, who followed the rule of that Worthy." - Of The Stone-lined graves mentioned by Mr. Jeffrey to have existed on the Surface of "Bennet Hill", none remain. they have been entirely obliterated by the Shifting of the Sandhills, There is one Situated a Short distance to the East of Bennet Hill and is undoubtedly Tumuli, from which three Stone Coffins have been taken. it was partially destroyed by those employed making the Railway, by taking the Stones for use in Connection with the Railway Works
