Where: Tor of Craigoch, 125m/410', P 38m, Tump, OS 82, NX 008 646
After Dow Hill, I carried on south to Stranraer and as it was still early, decided to continue through the village of Leswalt to bag the Tor of Craigoch. It is an Iron Age hillfort site estimated to be around 2,500 years old. The site is occupied by the Agnew Monument which was built in 1850 to commemorate Sir Andrew Agnew, the 7th Baronet of Lochnaw who was a Wigtownshire MP.
There was a small car park and a path which went through the gorse to the base of the monument and the Tump summit and trig. Unfortunately the thick gorse obstructed the view but it was still an interesting hill.
