LocationBailliehill Mount, also known as Woodhill Mount,[3] at 60m in height overlooks Carmyle or Waterpark Farm and the Carmel Water with steep slopes to the NW and SE; it is partly wooded. The site has well preserved rig and furrow ploughing marks internally and externally to the NE. A farmer's access track with a bridge across the Woodhill Burn at the Whin Gaw ran to the site from the nearby lane to Knockentiber.[4] DescriptionBailliehill Mount's summit has evidence of earthworks that are sub-circular[5] with an earthen bank on all sides except the NW, with an interior height of around 0.5m and an exterior height of around 2.3m.[6] An entrance may have existed to the north where the bank seems to stop short of the steep slope although that section has been subject to landslips that may have removed evidence of this part of any bank. A short section of a second bank and ditch exists to the east however the degree of rig and furrow ploughing makes interpretation problematic.[7] HistoryKnown locally as the 'Bullyhill' the site has been recorded as 'Bullahill' and 'Bellahill' in old church charters.[8] Robert Linton and John Smith carried out some "superficial diggings" in the mid 19th century, Robert Linton, a geologist, being the first to formally identify the site as an earthwork.[9] It was reported by Robert Linton that several stone coffins on the nearby lands of Carmyle or Waterpark were found within a cairn that was removed by the farmer and also effected by the building of the railway.[10][11] These graves show the presence of people in this area for several millennia as do other prehistoric remains in the adjoining area of Knockentiber. The name 'Baillie' in its context of the baron-baillie, a member of a medieval lairds retinue has evoked suggestions of a link with moot hills however the name also appropriately and suggestively describes the bailey of a castle.[12] The Ordnance Survey 'name books' of 1855 to 1857 record that locals believed that Baillehill had in the distant past been a site where "justice was adminstered". No coffins or human remains are recorded from the site.[13] Views of BailliehillReferencesNotes; 1. ^{{cite web|title=Canmore - Bailliehill Mount|url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/42793/bailliehill-mount|access-date=16 May 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite book|last=Smith|first= John|year=1895|title=Prehistoric Man in Ayrshire|publisher=Elliot Stock |isbn=|page= 95}} 3. ^{{Cite book|last=Smith|first= John|year=1895|title=Prehistoric Man in Ayrshire|publisher=Elliot Stock |isbn=|page= 95}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Ayrshire, Sheet XVII.
