Adjacent to the enclosure there is a field boundary, which is depicted on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (East Lothian 1894, sheet XIX), and has been recorded as a cropmark on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1993), extending from NT 49198 64002 to NT 49177 63832. There are field drains to the SE of the enclosure, and pits to the SW, which have been recorded as cropmarks on an earlier occasion (RCAHMSAP 1977).
