NX15NW 113 c. 145 575
NX 145 575 A watching brief was undertaken during gravel extraction proceedings, in an area 400m WNW of the major ritual complex at Dunragit (NMRS NX15NW 76). A pair of parallel ditches running SW-NE were recorded, the E one was recut and the fill of the last contained post-medieval material. Between the exposed portion of ditches was a round-bottomed pit filled with blue-grey clay. A linear feature was noted at the western extremity of the extraction zone, running WNW-ESE, parallel to the railway line which marked the N boundary of the area.
