Earthwork, Bedrule (Site): This earthwork stood in a field formerly known as the Stirk-rigg, 1200 yds N of Bedrule farm. It is said (NSA 1845) to have been completely effaced by cultivation a century ago, but the site can still be traced by a circular hollow 150 ft in diameter.
RCAHMS 1956, visited 1939
The site of this earthwork is at that part of the summit of a hill where it falls way to the W. The work has been scooped out of the hill to obtain a level floor, leaving a hollow with a rear (E) scarp about 2.0 m high. The entrance appears to have been in the W side. The name 'Stirk-rigg' is not known locally.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (RD) 1 March 1967
This settlement has been photographed both by CUCAP and the RCAHMS.
