Prehistoric traces accordingly are numerous. A short cist was dug out in the Cunning Howe, and others on the farm of Castlehill, while burials were found on the slopes of Cairnhill—the name of which is significant. The remains of at least two stone circles and a much dilapidated cairn. Cairn Ennit, survive in the Whitehill Wood (now cut). Flint and stone implements have been turned up in various localities. A little further to the east, in the grounds of Forglen House, are the notable Bronze Age burial mounds known as
Rounie Law and Barbara’s Hillock, from the latter of which a short cist grave was recovered, while the former yielded three unburnt and uncisted interments associated with beaker urns, charcoal and, in one instance, a flint arrowhead.
