Archaeology Notes

A modern marker cairn on the summit of Hill of Sound (also called Weisdale Hill on OS map) sits on top of a rubble pile covered in peat, which could be a prehistoric summit cairn. The pile is c. 8m in diameter, and its N, W and S sides are visible, where the peat has been eroded. A small section of modern walling, 3m long and 0.7m high, has been built on the W side.
