OS 6" map, (1967).
This enclosure is situated on a low knoll which rises from the W side of the flood-plain of the River Tweed. It has been formed by constructing a bank round the margin of the summit area of the knoll, and measures internally 135ft in length by 65ft in maximum breadth The bank has completely disappeared on the E side, and elsewhere it is not more than one foot in height internally; externally, however, it is as much as 6ft in height on either side of the entrance, which faces W.
The interior of the enclosure is planted with conifers, and no structural remains are visible. A platform, measuring 20ft across, has been quarried out of the flank of the knoll immediately outside the enclosure on the NW.
RCAHMS 1967, visited 1956.
Generally as described. The purpose and date of this enclosure is not clear but the suggestion of building foundations, and a positive causewayed entrance from the road on the W, indicate that this may have been a farmstead possibly, but not certainly, of medieval date.
Re-surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (RDL) 16 march 1964 and (IA) 24 August 1972.
