Wardlaw Hill trig point
The trig point lies on the northern edge of Wardlaw Hill Fort. Remains of a defence wall can still be seen around this small structure with a separate tiny mound on the northern point. The mapping surveyors as well as the original inhabitants recognised the value of this site as a viewpoint. The origin of the fort is uncertain but the 1857 OS Name Book ascribes it to the Roman period although no one is really sure. Other sources suggest prehistoric origins. The Old Statistical Account considered possible occupation of the site by the Vikings before the Battle of Largs.
