Woodhill is a hamlet in Angus which stands at a central point between Carnoustie and Monifieth on the east on a lane linking the A92 and A930 roads.
Woodhill House was erected in 1604 by William Auchinleck who later became Provost of Dundee.[1] It was demolished and rebuilt in 1908.[2]
The area has been occupied since the Neolithic period, as evidenced by a Cursus monument, identified from cropmarks, as well as Bronze Age short cist burials that are found periodically.[3]
