Full Description
A ring ditch, showing as a thin trace, and other crop marks, are visible on an aerial photograph taken in 1988. They lie in a field to the south of one containing square barrows (NJ66SE0052), so they may represent an extension to the crop mark complex of the barrow cemetery, possibly a Pictish barrow cemetery site.
