Scheduled as Chesters Farm, enclosure.

Information from Historic Scotland, scheduling document dated 20 June 1994.

This settlement is situated on the summit of a low hill about 320m S of Chesters Farm and has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1976, 1978, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1999, 2000). It is roughly circular on plan and the approximately 4m broad ditch is broken on the SE and SW by what may be entrances. There is a palisade trench in the interior, set slightly eccentrically to the outer ditch.
