Culterpark Hill
Culterpark Hill submitted by h_fenton : Culterpark Hill hillfort (amongst trees) viewed from Snaip Hill hillfort (looking northwest). The hill in the distance is Quothquan Law which also has a hillfort. 22 September 2010 (Vote or comment on this photo)
A uni-valet hillfort, with an internal measurement of 67metres x 33metres occupying the summit of Culterpark hill. In the past the hillfort has been damaged by ploughing, today the hillfort is pasture and the slopes surrounding the hillfort are conifer plantation.
