A patch of rig measuring about 100m from E to W by 160m transversely is situated on a terrace towards the base of the N side of Benowr. There are two distinct widths of rig, the narrower of which, measuring between 3m and 3.5m between furrows, appears to overlie the broader, measuring between 4m and 5m between furrows. Within the broader rig there is at least one split rig and a faint suggestion of an earlier alignment at the S side of the patch. At the N side of the rig is a head-bank. Towards the E side of the patch the rig has been disrupted by a small burn which has had at least two courses and has eroded a gully up to 5m wide and 0.4m in depth. The rig is at least partially overlain by a ruined drystone wall (depicted on the first edition OS 6-inch map, Kirkcudbright 1848-9, sheet 37) defining a large enclosure, with a small enclosure built onto its NE corner.
