Long (1897, 92) refers to the motte at Ardmayle (TS052-034004-) and Knockgraffon (TS075-019001-) and states that 'One of them had in recent years a narrow escape from a passing railway. I have been informed on good authority that some fifty years ago certain workmen, while tilling the field about this latter, came on a subterranean passage in which they found what they described as two old swords and an old bucket, which, of course, they treated as rubbish'. As Ardmayle is closest to a railway line it would appear that this underground passage, possibly a souterrain, was found close to the motte at Ardmayle.
