A large earthwork with double ditches on the crest of a minor ride a quarter of a mile W of Broomrig. The inner ditch, which appears to be as much as 20ft broad at some points, encloses nearly a square area measuring 280 ft along each axis; three of the sides are practically straight while the fourth, or E, side is slightly out-curved. The outer ditch runs more or less parallel to the first, but is separated from it by a distance varying from 30 ft on the S side to 100 ft on the E and N sides. An entrance can be seen directly through both ditches in the centre of the E side of the earthwork (1).
