Archaeology Notes

NY29NE 74 253 996

The remains of four subrectangular, turf-walled enclosures) are situated on the left bank of the Kiln Sike about 400m NE of Raeburnfoot steading (NY29NE 79). The southernmost (NY 2537 9958) is a simple structure and is open-ended to the S, but the other three (NY 2536 9962, 2535 9963 and 2534 9966) are more complex. Each of them is aligned roughly NNW to SSE with an entrance gap to the S, and in each case the W side has been extended to the S so as to form a small open-sided annexe facing ENE.

A ring-enclosure (NY 2534 9960) is situated on the opposite side of

the stream.

Visited by RCAHMS (JRS), August 1992.
