The sheepfold is as described; the 1.2m wide walls contain numerous squared blocks but the supposed 16th century walling cannot be identified. Dr Robson (curator, Hawick Museum) is fairly sure that this is the site of Puddingburn Tower, however, this supposition cannot be verified from ground evidence. There is no trace of a bank on the SE side, however, there are many other sinuous field banks surrounding the sheepfold but none appear to have any special significance.
