A series of linear features have been identified as cropnarks on aerial photographs across the N half of a field immediately to the W of Falside Castle (NT37SE 25). A relatively wide and irregular feature, visible from NT c.3760 7089 to NT c.3772 7091, a distance of some 115m, is intersected by a number of less distinct linear features and geological marks. A further linear cropmark has been recorded in adjacent field to the S (NT37SE 77).
