Field system in Pass OF Kilbride

On a slight natural rise of ground in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. Located 180m E of the Pass of Kilbride. Church (WM034-002001-) in centre of graveyard (WM034-002003-) with St. Bridget’s Well (WM034-001----) 70m to the N and motte castle (WM034-003----) 90m to the SSE. Traces of earthworks in field to the N and S of the church and graveyard are visible on Bing Maps aerial photographs taken between 06-07 November 2011 (www.bing.com/maps). In 1973 this possible field system was described as an earthwork complex located in the vicinity of the graveyard which may be medieval in date or earlier while some of the banks and ditches at the periphery of the field are definitely post-1700 in date. Cultivation ridges of uncertain date can also be seen in the field to the N of the church and graveyard. See attached word document with Bing Maps aerial photograph taken from www.bing.com/maps showing earthworks in field to the N and S of the church and graveyard.
