Dechmont Law

The slopes show signs of agricultural terracing, from the Bronze and Iron Age, but it is unclear whether it was ever a hillfort.

Its strategic position makes this likely, but there is insufficient archaeological evidence.

In 1979, forestry worker Bob Taylor had an alleged encounter with a UFO in the area of Dechmont Law.

In 2005, the body of 11 year old Rory Blackhall was found under an old, upside-down, two-person tent in woodland west of Dechmont Law.

Rory's body was discovered after a methodical two hour search by a Countryside Ranger who knew the area well.
