Full Description
Remains of a bank of earth and stone roughly aligned north-south, circa 23 m southeast of further bank remains (NJ83NE0080), recorded during a walkover survey by Mercer and Ralston in 1989 prior to a proposed extension of Bellmuir Quarry (NJ83NE0181). A walkover survey carried out by Rathmell Archaeology in 2016 ahead of proposed development of Bellmuir Quarry identified the site (S20.3) with the bank measuring 2 m wide, 0.3 m high, with a total length circa 42 m. The north end stops near the southern corner of structure NJ83NE0078, whilst the south end has been cut by NJ83NE0063 and the quarry access road. NJ83NE0066 is possibly a continuation of the same bank to the south side of the quarry access road.
