Information from O G S Crawford, undated
At 'A', centred NS 9707 2108, are a number of fields demarcated by turf banks. Their interiors have a slightly different vegetation than the surrounding moor showing that they have been cultivated. At the centre of this area are stones and uneven ground, probably the site of a small building.
'B', centred NS 9703 2086 and NS 9718 2098, is a similar field and on the river's flood bank are some small 'garden' enclosures with a small croft's foundations visible. The fields and buildings most likely represent a steading or croft which has long since been abandoned.
Visited by OS (WW) 6 July 1955
These enclosures are considered recent by the RCAHMS, and are not included in their inventory of prehistoric monuments in Lanarkshire.
