Deer dyke, Kincardine Park, Kincardine, Kincardineshire |
The deer dyke (or park pale) surrounded and enclosed the royal hunting park at Kincardine.
The park may have been created by King William I (reigned 1165-1214). Besides the main pale, there seems to have been a later extension to the north.
In the 14th century, the park was leased out, which may account for signs of cultivation and building within the park. |
