Aerial photography has recorded the cropmarks of a rectilinear enclosure 50m NE of Whitelaw farmsteading (NT57SE 68). It measures approximately 58m ENE-WSW by up to 42m transversely within a ditch 4m wide. The enclosure narrows towards the WSW end where it is roughly 30m wide and there are no apparent entrances. A number of indeterminate marks are visible within the enclosure. Until recent aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1996) this site was interpreted only as a possible enclosure.
