Linear earthwork towards Peelinick Part of the substantial earthwork that extends along the west and east edges and southern head of Dormount Hope. It has a ditch on the downhill side, making it impossible for anything to leap out of the valley onto the grazing lands of Raeshaw Fell but perhaps so designed to let deer in from the outside. It may be the dyke referred to in Liber de Melrose (dated to around AD 1190), and if not added to or extended since then, may be one of the first examples of emparkment in Scotland. It is known that baronial and monastic hunting rights were given in this parish at an early date in the Medieval period. John Barber (1999) in his paper 'The Linear Earthworks of Southern Scotland' classifies this example as a 'park pale or enclosure boundary'.
