NT 3156 3136 (centred on) A ground resistance survey was carried out on 9 June 2012 on a former hunting lodge and farm owned by the Earls of Traquair. The farm was last occupied in 1848. Survey results revealed a series of interlinking higher resistance linear anomalies which could represent wall foundations of a set of N–S aligned features c110m in length. The survey area was truncated by a dry stone boundary wall to the E, beyond which is now forest. To the N of the survey area and on the forest side of the boundary wall there were visible remains of structures which aligned with the survey results.
