NS 528 516 Two vaguely defined circles in improved agricultural land. Circle 1 has an apparent oval shape, and measures 19m in diameter at its widest point, the surrounding bank measuring roughly 2m in width. On the NE side of the circle within the bank is a partly grass-covered stone, measuring 1.8m long. Circle 2 lies S of circle 1, and is less well-defined, but appears to be 28m in diameter at its widest point. To the N, the circle forms a low concave area. A sunken trackway with no upturn is evident, this passing between the two circles.
NS 528 516 The remains of several abandoned buildings (?Mid Moorhouse Farm) are evident, along with other features including cairns, cut out enclosures and revetment banking. Many parts of the farmstead are now represented by grass-covered mounds.
Full plans and report are lodged with the NMRS, South West Water and West of Scotland Archaeology Service SMR.
