Burnswark Hill

287m

Burnswark Hill is a HuMP, 287m high. The HuMPs are hills in Britain and Ireland with at least 100 metres of prominence, whatever their height.

Lockerbie is the nearest station, 3.5 mi (about 4.5 to 5 mi on foot): a full day on foot there and back. From Lockerbie it's about 2 hours to the summit, 1 in 19 on average. Annan, 7.7 mi (about 10 to 11 mi on foot), is the only other station within 10 miles.

Burnswark Hill, to the east of the A74(M) between Ecclefechan and Lockerbie in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, is a prominent flat-topped hill, composed of basalt deposited some 300 million years ago as a local flow of lava. On this hill have been found an Iron Age hillfort enclosing some 7 hectares, Iron Age round houses within the fort, an earlier Bronze Age burial cairn, enclosures dated to the medieval period, a possible Civil War battery, and an Ordnance Survey triangulation station. Immediately adjacent to the base of the hill are two Roman camps, north and south of the fort, and a possible Roman fortlet within the South Camp.
