Cropmarks have revealed two sides of an enclosure about 550m NE of East Galdenoch enclosing the NE corner of a field (see NX15NW 78.00). The EW side runs for almost 100m (with a break about 35m from the E field boundary) and curves to run in a NW direction for about 60m where it becomes blurred by geological cropmarkings.

Aerial Photographic Interpretation (8 November 2021)
This field boundary, perhaps forming a section of a large enclosure of unknown date has been recorded as cropmarking on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) at the N end of a low-lying terrace overlooking the Piltanton Burn. The field boundary emerges from an area of geological cropmarks on the NW side of the terrace and runs for approximately 60m in a SE direction where it curves to the E. The second, longer section runs for a further 105m, towards the E edge of the terrace. There is a gap, possibly an entrance, about 32m from the eastern field boundary.
