Full Description
Unenclosed settlement visible as cropmarks. Includes ring ditches, circular enclosures and possible square barrow, with some circular cropmarks partly overlying others. Some of these cropmarks probably relate to a small Pictish barrow cemetery site. Also, some circular cropmarks may have been created by searchlight station points from World War I.
