NX98NW 9 934 858.
The field (centred NX 934 858) E of the Stone Fort, The Belt (NX98NW 8), where hut circles and a "Danish Camp" were seen by T Johnston in 1825-7, was examined about 1958 by A McLean and A E Truckell. They saw a suggestion of cobble-revetted terrace, and other stones which may have been the remains of hut foundations, in the turf of the terrace. Just to the E (M R Dobie 1959) or NE (A E Truckell 1958) was a heap of ploughed out stones, seeming to lie on more weathered stones with a suggestion of an encircing kerb. "This, whatever it is, is probably Johnston's 'Camp'."
RAF APs (541/A/397: 4250, 4251) show evidence of a possible sub-rectangular enclosure at NX 933 858.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
The field referred to is at present under young crop and nothing significant can be seen. Examination of the APs suggests that the markings are all natural.
