Full Description
A turf and stone boundary and ditch was recorded during a walkover survey by AOC Archaeology Group in 2012 in advance of the possible use of the immediate area as a borrow pit for the Burn of Whilk windfarm development. It was well-defined towards the west becoming less so toweards the east, where it eventually passed under the later drystone wall that constituted the site's easternmost boundary. It may date to the early improvement period originally enclosing land that was later abandoned. <1>
