	hearsay	In the medieval period the villagers were required to perform a service of seawake, or sea watch. They had to light a beacon fire whaihc could be seen for miles around, and across the Solway Firth. In the 17th century there used to be a regular horse race, from Craggs to Moota Hill. The end of the course was very steep, horses had to walk it. Not far from the village is the Jockey Stone, believed to be a glacial erratic.
