Wallace's Knowe

Earthwork (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Wallace's Knowe as Earthwork (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Wallace's Knowe is a likely early-medieval ringfort, or rath, associated with earthworks in a Scottish context. Local tradition may connect the name to Sir William Wallace, though this is unconfirmed, and such sites were often later linked to folklore involving fairies or ancient heroes.
