Mound, Cultoquhey.
A short distance E of the promontory fort described above [NN28SE 20], and likewise very close to the Crieff-Perth road, there stands a wooded mound which cannot be classified with any certainty. The N side, which is the most convenient for one measurement, rises some 20ft in a horizontal distance of rather over 60 ft, the slope being interrupted by two terraces, 8 ft and 6 ft wide respectively, where the gradient is reduced to about half that of the steeper stretches. The summit is nearly flat, circular in shape and 15 ft in diameter. The S side descends steeply, but its profile has been obscured by fairly recent excavation or quarrying. It is possible that the mound may be largely natural and that the features described may be the work of a landscape gardener.
Visited by RCAHMS (AG) 18 August 1942.
