Three phases of farming are represented in the Kilpatrick/Corriecravie area.
1. A possible early prehistoric phase. The wide-spread cairn construction could relate to this period but whether they represent evidence of burial practice or are clearance cairns is impossible to tell without excavation. The peat depth is not over 0.5m in any part of the area so it is likely that most of the evidence of this phase has been removed by later farming rather than being buried by peat.
2. A late prehistoric phase evident from the complex of large and small enclosures.
3. A late Medieval period indicated by broad ridge and furrow dating up to the mid 18th century.
