A line of earthfast stones forming the slight arc of a low, stony bank, situated on the N-facing slope overlooking the Mill Burn, was recorded by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/42, no.17) during a pre-afforestation survey. It measures 14m in length and is 1m wide and 0.2m high. The platform is clearly earlier than the rig (NO20NW 96) and may represent the last vestiges of an enclosure or field wall.
