Post-medieval dyke near Sook Hill (Melkridge)

Farmers built this dyke at an unknown date in the post medieval period. It comprises a ditch and a bank running for approximately 150m between King's Hill and Sewingshields Crags, north-east of Sook Hill. Archaeologists don't know what kind of boundary the dyke represented.
