Field Visit (June 1956)

RCAHMS Inventory: Peeblesshire

Enclosure, Hopekist Burn

NT13SW (unnoted) 126 305

On a low knoll on the E side of the flood-plain of the River Tweed, and at a distance of 50yds (45.7m) S of the left bank of the Hopekist Burn, there is a roughly oval enclosure measuring 50ft (15.2m) by 42ft (12.8m) within a bank which stands to a height of 1' (0.3m) one foot above the interior. The entrance is on the ENE, and a single earthfast boulder terminates the bank on the S side of the gap. The uneven ground immediately outside the entrance is partly enclosed by another bank, which originates on the SE side of the enclosure and runs thence NE for 85ft (25.9m) before turning to the W and dying out on the crest of a narrow natural spur. The interior of the enclosure is featureless.

RCAHMS 1967, visited June 1956.

Field Visit (4 September 1972)

Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Revision Programme

NT13SW 18 1264 3061.

The remains of this enclosure are of doubtful archaeological significance. The bank encloses a natural knoll which is accentuated by a dried up stream bed and it appears to have been no more than an animal refuge.

Visited by OS (IA) 4 September 1972

RCAHMS Afforestable Land Survey, Stanhope

The features previously described at this location comprise an enclosure, parts of hollowed trackways, and a dried-up stream-bed.
