Elestoun NS 91 98 NS99NW 13 and 15
The W side of Elestoun Hill appears to bear fragmentary remains of a complex field system. From NS 915 984 to 913 982 the track leading up Mill Glen runs along the top of a field-bank surviving to a height of about 1m and a width of about 2m. A drainage ditch runs from NS 918 985 to 918 990. The settlements reported at NS 916 982 and 919 983, around Wester Kirk Craigs, are fragmentary enclosures
