Green Castle NO 668 765 NO67NE 4
The earthwork that encloses a knoll overlooking the E bank of the Devilly Burn, 650m NW of Mill of Kincardine farmhouse, is probably the remains of an early-medieval castle. It is trapezoidal and measures about 65m by a maximum of 35m internally; the massive earthen rampart is up to 14m thick, and stands to a height of 3.3m above the interior, and over 10m above the bottom of an external ditch up to 11m broad. On the NW and SE there is an outer rampart, and the entrance is on the NE.
