Scope and Content Fort at Trusty's Hill, Anworth, Dumfries and Galloway The fort at Trusty's Hill is the only place in Dumfries and Galloway where the Picts left their mark. Carvings by the entrance may be due to a raiding party. The same group may also be responsible for burning the fort. The site was excavated in the 1960. This is a drawing of the stone which appeared in John Stuart's 1856 publication 'The Sculptured Stones of Scotland'. The symbols are a fish-monster, a double-disc and Z-rod and a unique sword. The head with antennae is probably a much later addition. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
