Field Visit (14 March 1990)
NT 0692 1012 NT01SE 22
What are probably the remains of a settlement are situated on an E-facing slope about 80m NE of the March Burn. Subrectangular on plan, it measures 31.5m from E to W by 27.5m transversely within a grass-covered stony bank (4m thick and up to 0.5m high) which, on the N and SE has been destroyed, probably by ploughing. The position of the entrance is uncertain, and the embanked carriageway of an old road crosses and obliterates the rear of the settlement. The interior has been disturbed by rig-and-furrow cultivation.
