Full Description
Traditionally the spot where Cameron, Laird of Brux, and his two sons were killed and buried during an engagement with the Mowets of Aberceldie. The OS Name Book (1867) records that 'it is said that a great number of graves were visible upon this hill some 10 or 12 years ago when the present farmer bought the field under cultivation'. OS site visit in 1968 found no trace of graves in area although the tradition of battle was still known locally.
