A ditch was recorded in the south central part of the site, running approximately north-to-south and cutting a pit containing an animal burial (MNT29195). The feature was up to 1.3m wide and 0.6m deep with steeply sloping sides breaking to a concave base. Its fill of dark-grey/black-brown gritty silty clay produced a fragment of early 18th century bottle glass, together with a group of pottery comprising a small number of medieval sherds alongside post medieval pottery and a floor tile dated 18th century or later, suggesting a post medieval date for the feature. A small quantity bone identified as cattle, sheep and pig, was recovered from the fill.

The ditch may have defined a boundary prior to construction of the Old Manse.
