Aerial Photographic Interpretation (16 December 2021)
Three ring ditches, probably round barrows of prehistoric date, have been recorded as cropmarking on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) within the Dunragit late Neolithic timber enclosure (NX15NW 76.01 and 76.02). The first barrow (NX 14823 57406) measures around 10m in diameter over a broad ditch. The second barrow lies around 53m to the ESE (NX 14883 57390) and is slightly smaller at about 8m in diameter. The third barrow (NX 14884 57334), which measures about 9m in diameter, lies 47m S of the second.
