Enclosures, Hizzie Birren and The Boonies.
Both these works are probably medieval rather than prehistoric, but it is difficult to know whether to classify them as earthworks or enclosures. Structures with comparably substantial defences in Roxburghshire were classified as earthworks, but it is more difficult to draw a line in Dumfriesshire between these works and the enclosures in Ewesdale.
