(NT 112 341). Enclosure, Rachan Mill (Site). An air photograph shows an enclosure as a crop mark on a slight eminence, which rises just above the 700ft contour, a quarter of a mile SSW of Rachan Mill farmhouse.
The enclosure is D-shaped on plan, the arc being formed by a single ditch and the chord by a long natural scarp which runs from NE to SW at the edge of the narrow floodplain of the Holms Water. There is an entrance in the E side of the ditch, and the interior, which shows no trace of structures, measures about 200ft along the chord by about 100ft transversely.
