A pit-defined cursus monument running E-W across a field immediately to the E of Tullichettle farmsteading was revealed through aerial photography. Two irregular lines of closely-spaced pits run for at least 175m, ranging from 25m to 30m apart.

The S line kinks inwards about halfway along its length, and both lines of pits curve gradually to the S towards the E end of the cursus. No terminals or internal divisions have so far been identified.
