Full Description
Remains of cropmarks of a possible sub-rectangular enclosure with possible entrance in the northwest, which overlaps another possible enclosure (NJ83NE0098). A desk based assessment carried out by Rathmell Archaeology in 2016 ahead of proposed development of Bellmuir Quarry (NJ83NE0181) and subsequent field observation noted the site (S29) as partially present with loss due to quarry operations, but did not record any further details, with the site located outwith the proposed development area.
