]]>The Knock is up for sale, with 357 acres of land, 200000 trees, some carbon credit stuff and a hillfort. Knock Hill has a small Iron Age hillfort, situated upon a steep-sided ridge overlooking the Clyde estuary. The summit of the fort is surrounded by a stony, turf-covered rampart, no more than 90cm high internally. Although no trace of vitrification is currently visible, there was enough vitrified material found in the ruins to indicate that it had been a timber-laced wall.

]]>This prehistoric site is one of the lost gems of Arran. Situated a mile south of Blackwaterfoot this site appears on the Ordinance Survey map as an Historic Scotland site with an associated car park. The roadside sign for both site and car park seem to have been removed and is quite difficult to spot having been colonised by local residents. Fortunately, shortly after leaving the car park there are excellent finger posts showing the way. It is a about half a mile steady climb.
