What is recorded here
Woodslee is a late Neolithic and Bronze Age burial cairn in Dumfries and Galloway, marked on the national record with one-metre accuracy. It may also hold the ghost of a medieval tower house, though that part remains uncertain. The hilltop has watched herds, storms and forgotten lives for thousands of years, keeping the dead close while the living passed beneath its shadow.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Woodslee as Burial Cairn (late Neolithic) - (bronze Age), Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
