Ravensby House

Cropmarks have revealed the northern part of a fortified enclosure backing onto the E side of the shallow gully cut by the Barry Burn. The position is probably a terrace at the foot of the ESE end of a low ridge dropping in from the ENE. Broadly speaking the enclosure is probably D-shaped, but the only sector of the perimeter that is well defined is a single ditch some 5m in breadth that extends N from an entrance on the E for about 30m before turning sharply back to the lip of the gully 30m to the W. There are traces of small rectangular features in the inteiror, but it is unclear how much further the enclosure extends to the SSE.
