Field Visit (25 October 2018)
Fugitive traces of rig and furrow cultivation on the SE flank of North Berwick Law are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1983 (RCAHMSAP) and on an image-based model (HES 2018). Evidently the remains of a once much larger area of cultivation that extended into what is now a large arable field to the E and SE, the rigs occupy a comparatively small triangular area measuring about 120m from NE to SW by 40m transversely. The individual rigs are aligned NNW and SSE, and measure from 2.5m to 3.5m across. On the NW the rigs may have been contained within a bank (10.6) which has been breached by cultivation in its latest phase. Later paths cut across the area from NE to SW.
