NO20NE 31 2815 0987.

The site first appeared in 1977 APs as an enclosure with an entrance to the NE. Further APs taken in 1977 and 1985 show a similar enclosure but with a possible internal feature. These may be the same site as the cropmarks vary considerably in this field from year to year.

A F Harding and G E Lee 1987.

Aerial photography has revealed the cropmark of an enclosure on a low rise in a field to the SW of a dismantled railway, some 860m to the N of Shiells Farm. It measures about 20m in diameter within a broad ditch and has an entrance on the NE. It is plotted on a distribution map of henge monuments and penannular ring-ditces covering southern Scotland (RCAHMS 1994, 39, fig. A; RCAHMS 1997, 116, fig. 111).

Information from RCAHMS (ARG) 30 September 1997.
