Balneaves Cottage

Aerial photographs revealed a cursus running from NE to SW for at leats 500m. Two lines of pits 25m apart end at the NE end in a square terminal, while the SW end has yet to be identified. Approximately 85m SW of the NE end a line of pits subdivides the enclosure, and further subdivisions have not been ruled out.
