Full Description
Minor field system marked by stone clearance heaps and one or two denuded lynchets, but with o surveyable fields. Below the field stance on the east bank of Badenhall Burn, at NO54489061, is a possible hut stance visible as a level platform, set into a slight slope. The foundations of a later rectangular building lie a few metres to the east and two similar rectangular foundations occur within the field system, one at the northeast edge, and one near the south edge. On an isolated rise, at NO54279056, is another possible hut circle, visible as a vague circular bank, but it is too denuded for positive identification.
