Aerial Photographic Interpretation (31 March 2022)

Ditched field boundaries have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992, 1995) on the broad former floodplain to the W of the Water of Luce and S of Glenluce Abbey. The boundaries, which are aligned from N to S and roughly E to W, are likely to be of post-medieval date.
