ND 18408 31524 Field clearance cairns. Four field clearance cairns, apparently post-medieval, lie along the E edge of a former cultivated area. They measured between 4.7–5.5m in diameter and were 5–10m long. They lie on the edge of a slope that runs down to a burn and would have helped to prevent erosion.
