Knockhammy

A well-defined drumlin in The Machars of Dumfries and Galloway, Knocknahay rises to just above 100m (328 feet) on the left bank of the Black Burn, to the south of Carseriggan and 6 miles (10 km) west of Newton Stewart. This is part of an extensive drumlin field, deposited beneath an ancient glacier with its principal axis aligned NNE-SSW indicating the direction of ice flow.
