Glenquicken, a moor in Kirkmabreck parish, SW Kirkcudbrightshire, 3¾ miles E by N of Creetown. A cairn here in 1809 yielded a rude stone coffin, containing an uncommonly large skeleton; and Glenquicken is traditionally said to have been the scene of a very early battle, probably between the Caledonians and the Romans. Near it are a stone circle and a well-preserved Roman encampment.—Ord., Sur., sh. 4, 1857.
