Cropmarks have revealed a double-ditched earthwork on a broad undulating terrace to the N of the Shochie Burn. Roughly circular on plan, it measures about 80m in diameter (0.5ha) within twin ditches set about 6m apart; the inner ditch is about 5m in breadth and can be traced round most of the circuit, but the outer disappears in the less distinct sector of the circuit in the field on the E. Allowing for the presence of the inner ramprt, the featureless interior extends to about 0.4ha. There is an entrance on the SE, and possibly a second on the W, though at the latter there are faint traces of a mark carrying across the gap in the inner circuit and it is unclear whether the underlying soils have simply obscured the ditch, or whether the appearance of an entrance reflects a modification to an original plan.
