It almost certainly commemorates Mary Kincaid (d 1801), widow of Rev Andrew Ross of Balsarroch and stepmother of the Arctic explorer Sir John Ross. Local folklore associates it with a dairymaid from Drumdow Farm who was killed by a bull, but this is unlikely. (From Stranraer take the A718 to Leswalt, turn right on B798, continue until Y fork, take B738 past Drumdow Farm. Continue to the left turn to Bankswell where there is parking for 2 cars in the roadend. Access is via stile over fence) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1802
