Air photographs show the cropmarks of an enclosure and settlement in a field 350m WSW of Ballencrieff Mains farmsteading. This sub-circular double-ditched settlement measures about 80m by 90m, and is defined by an irregular interior ditch. A second palisade slot runs parallel to the N side of this site, and is set approximately 8m apart. An irregular ovoid enclosure, measuring about 50m x 25m, intersects with the NE corner of the settlement with a curvilinear cropmark passing through the centre.
