Within 5 miles of our house are a number of Historical Sites including Barr Hill Roman Fort, mentioned in one of my previous blogs. Another interesting site is Meikle Reive Iron Age Fort near Lennoxtown.
The Fort is situated on the south facing slopes of the Campsies approximayely 1lm to the North East of Bencloich Mains Farm. The fort comprises a system of circular embankments, outside the wall there is a terrace approximayely 14 ft wide. There is also a circular depression about 30 ft in diameter, which is often filled with water.
