distantcamera visited on 19th Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 I saw this on the OS map when I decided to walk Tinto Hill. You could easily walk past it as it looks like raised lumpy ground with heather on it. But if you walk into the middle of it you can see the scale and get a feeling for the layout.

Hillfort in South Lanarkshire

Barely visible leaving car park and joining footpath to summit of hill. Short but uneven walk on gravel path (approx half a mile/ 0.76 kilometers).

When level with site it appears as raised lumps of heather. Closer inspection reveals the real size of this fort......nearly a hundred meters across, with three very visible furrows. To appreciate it fully means viewing from above, and that means a further walk uphill, and very worthwhile too. Update April 2017: Details on this site can be found on Canmore ID 47509, which has photographs, dimensions and a description of this hillfort.
