Excavations in 1938 suggest it was probably used by mounted units. The Well Road, later used by pilgrims going to Whithorn, offers magnificent views of Nithsdale. Please ensure all gates are shut and follow the country code. The grouse season has begun, hence we request that no dogs be taken, and ask you to keep to the path. The walk is about 2 miles there and back, over rough stony tracks. Stout footwear advised.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 78 AD
