Pot Hole, Dunino Den.
In Dunino Den, about 100 yards to the north-west of the churchyard, is what is called "The Pot Hole." It consists of a circular depression worked in the rock surface, 4 feet 6 inches in diameter, and approximately 3 feet deep. It lies on the top of a flat rocky projection, known locally as the Bell Craig, from which a flight of steps, hewn out of the rock and probably of late construction, leads downwards to the stream. The hole was cleared out by the late Rev. C. Rodgers, and the process of clearing was continued for a time at irregular intervals as it became silted up. It is popularly supposed to have been associated with pagan worship.
