A small pear-shaped enclosure has been recorded as a cropmark on aerial photographs, lying on a broad terrace to the N of the River Tweed and about 250m south of Lochton Farm. The enclosure measures about 30m by 20 within a ditch broken by an entrance on the east-south-east, and is probably a settlement of Iron Age date.
