65. Swordale Wood, Bonarbridge.
[probably NH69SW 33]
In the portion of Swordale Wood which lies between the Market Park and the old road to Little Swordale lie a great number of heaps of earth and stone. They differ from the ordinary small mounds in not being circular or composed to the same extent of stones. In each case there is a depression on one side from which they seem to have been dug. In direction the greater number of them lie N. and S., though some lie E. and W. In length they vary generally from 4' or 5' to 15' or 16', though a very few are even longer. One is 23' in length by 8' to 9' broad; another 20' x 11'. A great number of them are about 11' long. The average breadth is from 4' to 7' and height from 1' to 2'.
