Dillavaird NO 299 502 NO25SE 16

Cropmarks reveal what is probably a palisaded homestead situated on the crest of a low hill 450m E of Dillavaird steading; it is oval, measuring about 25m by 20m internally, and there is an outer palisade trench on all sides except the SE. The entrance is on the ESE and around the N half of the interior there is a ditch set about 1.5m within the inner palisade trench.
