Archaeology Notes

NO20NE 99 27013 08718

Air photography (RCAHMSAP 1984) has recorded the cropmarks of a possible rectilinear enclosure in the NW corner of a field about 160m NE of Maryfield. Defined by a narrow ditch, it measures at least 40m from ESE to WNW by 7m overall. The ditch returns to form a terminal on the ESE, coinciding with an area of disturbance, but, on the WNW, the sides disappear at the edge of the field. This enclosure is plotted as a possible mortuary enclosure on a distribution map of Neolithic monuments across southern Scotland (RCAHMS 1994 and 1997).

Information from RCAHMS (ARG), 6 May 1998.
