Full Description
NN 6164 9530
Lying under the partially robbed out stone dyke are the remains of an earlier turf or turf and stone banked enclosure measuring 15m by 9m. The enclosure defines a grassy hollow set against the bank of the Gergask Burn. A 3m stretch of bank running SW towards the burn may mark the remains of a building largely eroded away.
The enclosure and ?building are probably 18th or early 19th century in date, predating the introduction of sheep farming.
