(NT 20154 57897) Desk-Based Assessment - This site has previously been classified as a possible fort. The impression of ramparts has been gained from a small block of rig and furrow lying along the slope creating at least two pronounced terraces (Information from RCAHMS (DCC) 30 October 2006). Recorded on aerial imagery from 1982 and 2001.
Walkover survey - Rig block that forms two distinct semi-circular ridges with steep slopes to the NW down to North River Esk. In total, the area is approximately 20m wide (NW-SE) by 100m (NE-SW). Each bank/rig is approximately 6m wide with the internal furrow/ditch approximately 3m. The area to the S and SE is boggy and there is possibly an area of rough grass/pasture that may be associated with rig and furrow; possible smaller undulations that are ephemeral traces of rig & furrow (not mapped).
