The discovery by Hill of a row of pits containing the stumps of posts beneath the bank of the larger of the two enclosures suggests the presence of an earlier timber-built perimeter. Such an enclosure would be comparable to those pit-defined enclosures recorded as cropmarks by aerial photography. Thus, it has been plotted as a large ritual enclosure on a distribution map of Neolithic monuments covering southern Scotland.
