The mound was reputed to be the site of a defensive tower erected when the village was founded in the 12th century. (Source: 'Village Trails in Clydesdale and Tweeddale' by Rosemary Turpie and Ian Gilchrist, Quothquan Trails 2015). Now it is host to a children's play area and seats for those further along life's journey, but for all it gives a fine view of the surroundings.
