Information from Historic Scotland, scheduling document dated 16 December 1993.

The cropmarks of a closely spaced alignment of pits have been identified from aerial photographs to the W of The Chesters fort (NT57NW 1) and 350m WNW of Dalvreck farmsteading. The alignment runs in an N-S direction and is visible for about 470m from NT c.5098 7831 (adjacent to The Chesters) to NT c.5096 7876. The S half of the alignment is sinuous, whilst the more regular N half has only been recorded on recent aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995). A series of pit-alignments has been recorded around The Chesters including NT57NW 46 and NT57NW 50 -52 and 114.
