(NT 4549 5736) Old Drover's Stance
Information from W Aitchison, 1949.
A rectangular earthwork divided into enclosures and measuring 68m by 40m. The banks, which are of turf, are approximately 1.0m broad and 0.3m maximum height. The earthwork has the appearance of being comparatively modern.

NT 4550 5729. A well-defined rectangular turf-banked enclosure, now partly destroyed by a forestry plantation. It appears to be relatively modern, as suggested by OS (JD), and is probably a drover's stance (c/f NT45NE 8).
Visited by OS (BS) 23 April 1979
Enclosure. An archaeological desk-based assessment and field inspection was undertaken in advance of a proposed wind farm project. Previously known sites include the Roman road Dere Street, and a number of sheepfolds. The newly discovered sites include a range of agricultural features such as farmsteads and field banks.
