Between Abronhill High School and Blackthorn Road there is a large area of peat bog. Aerial pictures show long, parallel lines which would indicate that the peat has been cultivated sometime relatively recently. Whether this was done before Abronhill was built or after I do not know although I would assume it would have been before. Abronhill High School in the distance.
