Full Description

Linear Boundary Dyke, NC 85065 13192 to NC 85015 13064.
Peat bank and associated ditch on its E side, trends from here towards 2040 down the slope of the E side of Ristocky Burn, to terminate at its E bank. The bank is 1.5m wide and 0.4m high, and the ditch is 1m wide. From its intersection with the peat bank of Feature 211 (below), it trends uphill towards 0160 and is probably a 19th Century drainage ditch, rather than anything prehistoric. <1>
