NN82SE 78.04 8807 2425
Cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1989) reveal what may be two square barrows and a scatter of pits disposed along a low ridge on the leading edge of a terrace to the E of the Shaggie Burn. The northern of the two barrows (EARNAP 132, NN 8807 2425) is the clearest, measuring about 8m across overall, with a central burial pit. The second, poorly defined, barrow lies to the SE (NN 8808 2423). The scatter of pits lies along the leading edge of the terrace to the N of the barrows and are of unknown function.
