OS 6" map (1948)
Indeterminate Site: The Keir Hill of Glentirran is a natural mound, 300 yds SW of Boquhan House. It is occupied by a disused modern burial ground. The OSA records that "the marks of some ancient military work" in the form of an oval rampart existed on the hill, but all traces of this have now disappeared.
