Aerial photography has recorded the cropmarks of a small area of rig-and-furrow immediately SW of Glenhead Cottage. The individual rigs, which are orientated NW and SE, measure about 7m in breadth between the furrows. The NW side of this former cultivation is marked by the SW end of a curvilinear ditch about 170m in length. Two other ditches, which are orientated roughly E and W and lie 25m and 125m N of the rig respectively, may be equated with straight field boundaries that are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCXV).
