Full Description
A supposed place of worship on an artificial hillock. No trace of this feature now exists above ground level, and it is possible that it has been ploughed out, however a faint pale trace of a possible circular enclosure is visible at the site on a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1976. There is no knowledge of the name locally. Now part of Kinloss Golf Course.
