NT 554 741. Air photographs (RAF CPE/Scot/UK257: 3124-5) reveal, at a height of about 150ft OD, on East Bearford farm, the cropmark of a single-ditched, approximately square enclosure, measuring about 200ft along each axis, with a fairly broad ditch. This is one of at least twenty rectilinear ditched enclosures in Mid- and East Lothian which are superficially comparable with the Iron Age timber-house sites of the Northumberland coastal plain.
