On a gently sloping ridge, known as Elsie Cleuch Rig, running down towards the east from Spartleton, some 50 yards from the top of the steep brae on the western bank of Bothwell Water and some 350 yards south-west of Caldercleugh, at an elevation of 900 feet above sea-level, is a hut circle, difficult to detect among heather but measuring 15 feet in diameter internally and 9 inches in depth [NT66NE 12]. Some 80 yards to the northeast is a cairn, 26 feet in diameter and 2 ½ feet in height, which has been excavated on the south-western side [NT66NE 13]. About 20 yards south-south-east of the hut circle is a stony mound covered with grass, 12 feet in diameter and 9 inches in height, which is slightly hollow in the centre [NT66NE 14]. It is impossible to say definitely whether the last is a cairn or a hut circle but the former is more probable.
