(NT 086 410) Earthwork, Wedding Burn: On level ground 1/2 mile WSW of Muirburn farm, there are the wasted remains of two banks and a medial ditch, together with an isolated stretch of an outer ditch on the N, which may or may not be associated. Where still visible, the banks are not more than 1' in height and the ditches are almost filled up, but enough survives to indicate that the area originally enclosed measured about 220' by 100'. There has been an entrance on the S, where the ditch is interrupted by a causeway some 30' in width. The interior is featureless.
