This enclosure has presumably been identified from aerial photographs. It is located across the road from Blackness Country House on the south side of Blackness village. There is nothing visible on the ground.

Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 18th February 1996..

Cropmarks on an aerial photograph have revealed an enclsoure in the corner of a field some 50m to the SSE of Blackness House. It measures about 15m in diameter within a broad ditch and has an entrance on the E. It is plotted on a distribution map of henge monuments and penannular ring-ditches covering southern Scotland (RCAHMS 1997, 116, fig. 111).

Information from RCAHMS (ARG) 30 September 1997.
