Battle-Hill, an eminence in Annan parish, Dumfriesshire, said to have got its name from a sanguinary conflict at it between Scotch and English in a Border foray, fatal to all the English combatants, either by their being slain on the spot or driven to death in the adjacent Solway Firth. A strong mineral spring was discovered here in 1837.
