(NS 3405 4877) Law Hill is in all probability an ancient court hill or grave-mound, now levelled down. Surface indications when ploughed seem to support this idea.
J Smith 1895
No trace of a mound is visible on Law Hill, at present under pasture.

It would seem that Smith is referring to Law Hill itself, and not to a mound thereon. Albeit, this low, rounded hill shows nothing of archaeological significance; examination of RAF air photographs (106G/Scot/UK 77: 3268-9, flown 1946) proved negative.
