Forrest (1843) shows a 'camp' at Cauldshoulders, measuring 100-120 feet in diameter; but it may be an old sheepfold.

RCAHMS Field Notebook, visited 1965
NT 0095 4290. The enclosure, formed by an earth bank 2.5m wide, measures internally 25.0m NW-SE by 20.0m transversely, this non-defensive situation, encircling a low featureless knoll, and lack of an entrance suggest that this is possibly a tree-ring.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
