A possible charcoal burning platform (NMRS MS 738/31, no.73), immediately W of a burn on the N-facing slope overlooking the River Leven, was recorded by AOC (Scotland Ltd). It measures 9m from E to W by 6.5m from N to S and is levelled into the hillside to a depth of 0.5m. The front, which has been terraced out to a similar height, was revetted with a drystone wall, which has, however, collapsed.
