The possible remains of a circular enclosure and a quarry (NMRS MS 738/31, no.68), situated on a knoll immediately above the road on the slope above the S shore of Loch Leven, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by by AOC (Scotland Ltd).
The enclosure bank measures 2m in width and stands up to 2m in height curves round the knoll for 34m before being cut by the road on its W side and running into quarrying activity that has removed the larger part of the knoll.
