Deer-Dike, a substantial earthen fence along the mutual boundary of Garvock and Laurencekirk parishes, Kincardineshire. Probably part of an enclosure round a deer-forest, comprising most or all of Garvock parish, it continued till last century to be tolerably entire, and still has left distinct traces.
