Situated opposite the more famous Dunnydeer fort Christ's Kirk is found on the south side of the B9002. Car parking is available as paths lead to the top with the last stretch being quite steep. (The Christ's Kirk, as in church, can be found to the south of the hill beside the farm of the same name.) The real evidence for this prehistoric fort is with aerial photography which Canmore thankfully provides. Though some of the ditches of this unfinished fort can be seen by the naked eye. Well worth a visit considering the amount of circles in the immediate area. Visited 23/07/09. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
