Full Description
This stone dyke shown as a dotted line on the current OS map also continues NW to the railway line. There is no form to this feature. It survives as a tumble of stone. It is unclear why this dyke was built as it must already have collapsed by the time of the 1867-9 OS survey. It does not correspond to a known farm boundary. It is heavily overgrown with mature birch and aspen. <1>
The feature is visible on SEPA LiDAR data.<1>
