The historic map is an Ordnance Survey map from 1919 to 1947, and is provided by the National Library of Scotland

Excavations during November and December 1999 in advance of gravel extraction revealed an arc of 16 post-pits, to the W of which were three parallel lines of post-holes. An extended excvation of the northern line of pits revealed over 120 post-holes ending just to the E of West Lodge, where it turned S and continued for an unknown distance. The two other lines of post-holes ran 15m and 35m to the S, and parallel to the northern line.
