| A Roman period farmstead lies above the Rattenraw Burn. It comprises a sub-rectangular enclosure containing two sunken yards and the foundations of three round houses. Overall, the farmstead measures 40m by 30m but outside it are four further round houses and an irregular-shaped enclosure. Archaeologist think that this shows the settlement grew larger and expanded outside its original bounds. This is a Scheduled Monument protected by law. See also:
