Aerial Photographic Interpretation (13 October 2022)
The remains of two field boundaries, perhaps forming boundaries either side of a road or track, and linear features have been recorded as cropmarking on oblique photographs (RCAHMPSAP 1995) on gently sloping ground about 80m S of Spott Burn. The boundaries are oriented from N to S and set about 11m apart, the W boundary extending for about 89m and the E for about 152m. The linear features have been recorded to the E.
