Castlesteads/Newton NT 33 69 NT36NW 52 &53

Cropmarks between Newton House and Castlesteads reveal two lines of pits roughly parallel to each other about 300m apart. The E line runs N for a distance of 500m from a wood on the N bank of the River North Esk (NT 3374 6924) to the boundary between the districts of Midlothian and East Lothian (NT 3376 6973); the other runs from a field boundary 15Om ESE of Newton House (NT 3348 6979) to the district boundary (NT 3348 6992), a distance of about 250m. Both continue N of the district boundary forming part of a system of pit-alignments which covers an area of about 130ha.
