What is recorded here

Deil's Jingle is a medieval linear earthwork on Castle O'er Estate in Dumfries and Galloway. Its line still crosses the land, marking a boundary or barrier built when people needed to control movement, exclude others, or define ownership. The name suggests mischief or danger, fitting a place where an ordinary field edge becomes a reminder that exclusion is as old as settlement.
