Canny Cleugh cairnfield (Kirkwhelpington)
Small cairnfield visible. (1)
NY 961850: Unclassified dyke and Unclassified hut circles. NY 960850: Unclassified cairnfield. (2)
NY 96128509. Possible cross ridge dyke? This dyke runs from just north of the railway cutting to a point near the burn north of the ridge and an east-west green track. There is a possible hut circle immediately to the east of this earthwork. (Noted by the Field Research Group of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle). (3)
Extensive cairnfield centred NY 960850 in an area devoid of stones (suggesting field clearance) and bounded on the east by a cross ridge dyke(?). To the west are several larger cairns which perhaps do not suggest field clearance. (Noted by the Field Research Group of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle). (4)
At least five cairns lie south east of a modern track and two to the north west. They are on average 3m-4m in diameter by 0.3m-0.5m high. A dyke, aligned north west-south east, is prominent for c.100m on the south east side of the ridge. It measures a maximum 4m wide with a ditch c.0.4m wide, on its south west side.
At c.NY 961850 are two ring banks, one appears to overlie the dyke - it measures c.4m internal diameter by 1m-1.5m(?) deep with a possible entrance on the east side. (5)
Seven possible cairns recorded in 2005. They average 3m diameter and 0.5m high. (6)
