Field Visit (March 1982)
Jacksbank NO 769 826 NO78SE
On the S slope of the broad ridge 600m SSE of Jacksbank farmhouse there are the remains of a field-system and numerous small cairns. The roughly rectilinear fields, which are bounded by stony banks 2m thick and up to 0.4m high, measure at least 60m by 30m, but only one is complete (measuring 32m by 27m). The cairns (at least twenty-five) are up to 5m in diameter by 0.4m in height. In the adjacent field to the E there is a stretch of bank flanking the W fence-line, which may form part of the same field-system.
