Linear cropmarks have been recorded from aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1994) in a field some 300m E of Gateside of Isle, on the S bank of the River Nith. The cropmarks include two parallel lines running NW - SW for approximately 100m. They do not appear to be garden features associated with Tower Isle country house to the SE (NX98SW 15) or field boundaries. They are not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Dumfrieshire, 1882, sheet XLI).
Information from RCAHMS (JH) 17 July 1998.
What are probably field boundaries have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1994) on the south-west bank of the River Nith to the NW of Isle.
