Enclosure, Black Loch: visible on aerial photographs taken in 1977.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
Scheduled as Black Loch, enclosure.
Information from Historic Scotland, scheduling document dated 1 November 1993.
This enclosure, which is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs, is located below the summit of a hill 18m to the E of a modern fence and some 430m to the SSE of Black Loch. An area measuring about 65m from N to S by 50m transversely is enclosed by a broad ditch broken by opposing entrances to the E and W respectively. The site is comparable to other enclosures found in the cropmark record in East Lothian, the majority of which are undoubtedly settlements.
