Cropmarks here show up a cursus consisting of parallel ditches between 2 -3m wide, and separated by a distance of 60m, running for at least 300m approximately E to W. At the eastern end the cropmarks run to the field boundary and probably continued into the next field, although nothing is now visible in this field. N of the western part of the cursus is a further rectilinear enclosure of unknown purpose. This was the first cursus to be identified in SE Scotland.
