Archaeology Notes

NX64SE 64 6861 4412

There are five fragmentary lengths of ruinous drystone wall on the broad terrace that extends northwards from Gypsy Point. All are shown on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Kirkcudbrightshire 1854, sheet 54), forming parts of a system of large subrectangular enclosures between Balmae House (NX64SE 43) and the coast. Six blocks of rig can also be seen on the terrace, lying within the enclosures. Comprising faint, straight furrows, spaced about 4m apart, the extent of the rig is best appreciated from aerial photographs (e.g. RAF 58/4957, frame No. 0007, 22 February 1962).
