NT37SE 101 NT 36258 71732
Air photographs show a series of cropmarks, including those of two possible enclosures, in a field immediately to the SW of Barbachlaw farmsteading. Two arcs of narrow ditch, possibly palisaded, form part of what may be a circular enclosure with a diameter of about 30m at NT 3618 7178. A second possible circular enclosure defined by a narrow ditch is visible at NT 3627 7169 with a diameter of about 18m. An area of rig and furrow cultivation is also revealed as cropmarking between these two possible enclosures, and there are also a series of indeterminate cropmarks in the surrounding area. Further cropmarks and an enclosures have been identified in adjacent fields (NT37SE 82, NT37SE 95, NT37SE 98 ).
Information from RCAHMS (KB) 1 April 1999
Aerial photographs taken in 1984 by C Martin, St Andrews University (84.27.9-10).
NT 3610 7180 Evaluation trial trenching in March 2002, amounting to an approximate 5% sample of a 5.9ha area of farmland to the NW of Barbachlaw Farm, failed to discover any features of archaeological significance.
The possible palisade enclosure (NT37SE 101) proved not to be present on the ground. This may be due to its destruction through continued ploughing, or the cropmarks may be geological in origin. (AOC 3762)
