SandyG visited on 4th Aug 2017 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 1 The feature described in Canmore forms part of a field boundary that extends further west to NG 57452 34870. The length that was previously described is hidden by bracken making photography difficult in the summer months. The features described are however all discernible. The pairs of stones described are almost touching and represent two sides of an incomplete wall. Walls of this type are present in the vicinity and it was probably intended that the wall would have butted a nearby field boundary at around NG 57541 34821. This is definitely a field boundary and not a stone row.
A double line of stones was observed on the E bank of one of the tributaries of the Eyre Burn, and overlooks a possible later prehistoric hut circle, further down the valley. It consists of a double row of stones, c 20m in length, lying E-W. The higher end lies to the E, and is marked by an upright stone roughly triangular in shape, and some 0.9m high. A vegetation-covered mound lies about one-third of the way down from the eastern end. A few stones protrude through the mound, which at its widest point is c 3m across.
Two upright stones, 0.5m and 0.6m high, mark the western, lower, end. There are other uprights along its length, mostly 0.4-0.5m high, which seem to occur in pairs, there being five or possibly six such pairs. The two uprights at the western end appear to have slipped and are presently at an angle of 45 degrees.
