| Summary : Hallgarth or Round Hill is the possible site of a pre-Conquest administrative centre or burh of Stirkland. It is hill with steep sides and possible fortifications. However, there is some debate to whether the site is natural or man made or even altered by man. The name `Round Hill' is often given to similar man-made sites. However, it has been suggested that the garth (enclosure) actually refers to the nearby Helsfell Hall. |
