The enigmatic cropmark that was previously described was recorded by air photography (RCAHMSAP 1977) and may represent the foundation trenches and post-holes of a round-ended building which has measured 24m from NNE to SSW by 9m overall. It is plotted as a possible mortuary enclosure on a distribution map of Neolithic monuments covering southern Scotland (RCAHMS 1994 and 1997), and is also similar in both shape and size to the Neolithic timber hall excavated at Balbridie (NO79NW 16) and to the structure that is visible as cropmarks at Whitmuirhaugh, Sprouston (NT73NE 22).
Information from RCAHMS (ARG), 6 May 1998.
Scheduled (with NN60NW 57) as 'Claish Farm, palisaded enclosures and timber hall... the remains of three overlapping palisaded enclosures and a timber hall of prehistoric date represented by cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs'.
Information from Historic Scotland, scheduling document dated 2 December 2003.
