NT57NE 15 5709 7543.
(Centred NT 5709 7543) Crop marks are visible on APs (CPE/Scot/UK 257: 4121-2) showing a sub-rectangular enclosure about 90m square.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
No trace of these crop marks was seen on the ground, the field being under a root crop at the time of visit. Although the field is arable, it contains several areas of stony, unploughed ground and the crop marks may only indicate a greater depth of soil.

Enclosure, Nether Hailes: This probably square single-ditched enclosure, situated at about 160ft OD, is one of at least twenty enclosures in Mid- and East Lothian which are superficially comparable with timber-house sites of the Northumberland coastal plain, dating from the Iron Age.

Further aerial photographs have been taken by the RCAHMS and by CUCAP.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
Field boundaries, most of which are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Haddingtonshire 1855, Sheet 10), have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2000) lying to the E, S and W of the settlement.
