Dechmont Law

Hillfort

Rhiannon May 2, 2010

The earthworks on Dechmont Law are very slight now, but the Canmore record concedes they’re probably the remains of a hill fort.

The woods around the base of the hill were the setting for one of the UK’s weirder ufo-ish experiences. You can read all about it at the ‘UFO Evidence‘ website.
