Post-medieval enclosure and field system near Saughy Rigg (Melkridge)
A sub-rectangular enclosure, defined by a sod cast bank, measures about 40m north to south by 30m and was identified by aerial photography. Within and outside to the east of the enclosure is broad rig cultivation. (1)
A post medieval sod cast enclosure is recorded as an earthwork on aerial photographs north west of Saughy Rigg at NY 7359 6870. The enclosure is sub-rectangular, measuring 50m by 40m, and appears to overlie broad rig. Areas of disturbance on the interior may represent warrening activity, and a potential function for the enclosure. (2a)
