Abstract
Summary The ring enclosure at Burnhouse Moor lies at the 300m contour on a small hill just SW of Tinto Hill near Biggar (Fig 1). It was excavated prior to the afforestation of the area. Before excavation the site appeared as a 2m wide bank with no breaks apart from a modern sheep track. The bank enclosed a circular area 8m in diameter. A slight depression or halo was just visible around the outer edge of the bank. One quarter of the interior was excavated with extension trenches to S and E sectioning both bank and the external depression. Four pits were dug outside the excavated area to examine the soil profiles across the hillside. In places these showed tilled soil, while others showed a build up of peat.
