NX06SE 98 centred on NX 08396 63846
Aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) has identified the cropmarks of a ditch, apparently forming two sides of a possible rectangular enclosure 350m N of Innermessan Farm (NX06SE 54). These two sides appear to join at a corner-angle (reminiscent of Roman camps) and the longer side is visible for about 130m. The cropmarks are situated at the edge of a low cliff overlooking Loch Ryan.
Information from RCAHMS (KB) 23 February 1999
This field boundary has been recorded as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995). It is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Wigtownshire 1849, sheet 85NX06SE). There is also a block of rig orientated SW-NE, with a 7m spacing between furrows.
