Amongst the cropmark features visible on aerial photographs of the gravel terrace at Whitmuirhaugh, there is a D-shaped enclosure backing onto the River Tweed, its arc formed by the broad discontinuous ditch that is identified in previous accounts as a promontory fort. The ditch encloses an area measuring about 190m from NNW to SSE along its chord by 100m transversely and there are at least three major breaks along its course. This form of construction is characteristic of causewayed enclosures of Neolithic date.
