Droughduil Mote submitted by andyturner on 9th Apr 2004. NX148567
Dunragit, by Stranraer, Dumfries & Galloway.
Originally thought to be the earth mound of a 12th century castle, recent excavation has now shown the Mote to be contemporary with an adjacent system of three massive concentric timber circles dated approx 2500 BC.

Log Text: I have known about Droughdool Mote for most of my life since I live locally. It was always considered as a motte until the early 2000's: a archaeological dig in Dunragit uncovered 3 timber circles parallel to the A75. It also excavated Droughdool Mote, producing an unexpected construction date of c. 2500 BC, contemporaneous with the timber circles. The man-made mound may have provided a overview of the now destroyed timber circles.

Log Text: Druidtemple Clava Cairn is hidden in a square wood on the southern edge of Inverness, the trees protecting it from the encroaching houses. There are several standing stones, survivors of an outer stone circle and an almost intact kerb defining the cairn. The monument is encircled by mature trees.

Log Text: A standing stone with a good coastal view turns out to be a more complicated site: a chambered cairn was robbed to construct an overlaid stone building, leaving an exposed orthostat on a low grass mound.

Log Text: I have driven past Drumacissock N Cairn many times before finding it listed on Canmore. It was easily discoverable as a low grassy mound with a partial stone kerb.
