The cropmark of an enclosure, probably a settlement, has been recorded on an un-named knoll at the edge of the terrace overlooking the River Nith 620m NE of Townfoot of Carruchan farmsteading. The ditch is visible on the N, S and W sides whilst the E is a steep slope. Measuring approximately 95m by 50m, with an entrance on the W side, it encloses a palisaded settlement (NX97SE 23) which it appears to intersect briefly at NX c.9584 7380.
