Wild nameless ground between Hog Knowe and Fallow Knowes plantation Hidden amongst the grasses were mortar shell-holes making walking even harder than the tufty vegetation. Recent holes were water sumps and offered a quick if peaty bathe - or drowning.

Barrow on Black Knowe Sitting like an island in the wet boggy ground just south-south-east of Black Knowe I think this is a kaim. The photo was taken from a more complicated mound similarly dry and sandy on wet ground.
