Aerial Photographic Interpretation (16 December 2021)

A round barrow and a possible second example have been recorded as cropmarking on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) on level ground immediately E of the Dunragit timber enclosure (NX15NW 76.1 and 76.2). The first barrow (NX 15064 57430) measures about 4m in diameter within a ditch about 0.5m broad; the second lies about 25m SE and comprises a U-plan ditch (open to the N and measuring about 5m across overall) with a possible pit at the centre. Two large pits about 14m apart are situated about 31m E of the possible second barrow.
