Archaeology Notes

NT51SE 29 565 121

A tower or peel formerly stood at Hawthornside, formerly known as Hangingside. 'The name Peel-knowe (Peel Knowe, at NT 565 121) draws attention to the spot on which it stood, but not a stone is left to mark its exact site. The present farmhouse was built from the stones of the tower...'

G Tancred 1907
