Full Description
Cropmarks identified while checking APs. Possible oval enclosure, with later possible enclosure overlapping. The area is also covered with later rig and furrow. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in advance of the proposed Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme in 2011. The evaluation trenching was designed to determine the presence and/or nature of the cropmarks identified from aerial photographs. Evidence for remnant rig and furrow was encountered, but the evaluation demonstrated that the oval cropmark represented a subsurface geological change rather than an archaeological feature.
