Aerial Photographic Interpretation (6 October 2022)
A ring ditch, possibly a barrow of prehistoric date, has been recorded as cropmarking on oblique photographs (RCAHMSAP 2006) on the NE facing slope of Pinkerton Hill about 140m W of West Meikle Pinkerton Cottages. It is oval on plan, measuring about 3.5m from E to W by about 2.7m transversely, within a ditch about 1m broad. There is a scattering of pits and more amorphous cropmarks around.
