Manuscripts, slides, photographs and drawings from the Barri Jones collection pertaining to the enclosure at Thomshill. A total of 46 trenches were opened.
Though trenching by Daniels in 1988 failed to locate the N side of this earthwork, in 1990 a V-shaped ditch with well defined shovel slot was found to continue on N side, but eventually petered out due to effects of wind erosion. Clear evidence of turf lining on inner face. No artefacts or carbon found.
I Keillar 1988; C M Daniels and I Keillar 1990.
