(NY 132 825) A palisaded enclosure some 300 ft. by 220 ft. with probably, over part of the circumference at any rate, an outer ditch, discovered beneath the top soil and partially destroyed, during construction of the Lockerbie By-pass in 1962.

Trial cuts were made by W F Cormack and Robert Little at points A, B and C by permission of Mr J Mackie, jnr., Broomhouses. No entrance was seen. The trench was confirmed at D, but not at E. The only find was a handful of black slag in a small pit at F, also a flint flake, with cortex backing. Pits and fire spots occured outside the enclosure on the east side.
