Structure

Kemp Law Dun Structure photo

The dun lies in a well defended position on a minor ridge, but the site has been much disturbed and robbed of stone . At Smith’s time in the 1890s some stones were to be seen lying around and some of these were vitrified .

Vitrification

It is not clearly understood why or even how the stone walls were vitrified . Extreme heating has been shown to weaken the structure and an act of destruction seems unlikely . Deliberate destruction following capture of the site or some form of ritual destruction by the ruling chief .

Etymology

The name “Kemp” is derived from Middle English kempe and from Old English cempa, meaning “warrior, knight, fighter or champion” A kemp in Scots is a hero or a champion of great strength . The name is applied to many hillforts, mottes, etc. throughout Scotland .
