Full Description
Cropmarks of ring ditches and linear features recorded by J Dewar during aerial reconnaissance in 1976. CFA conducted an excavation of a number of features in September 1998. These revealed the ring ditch to be approximately 7 m in diameter with a ditch width of 2.2 m - 1.6 m . A section cut through the ditch proved sides to be nearly vertical, with a depth of 0.6 m - 0.75 m, and the bottom flat. A number of heat-cracked stones were found in the fairly organic fill. A number of the linear features would appear to be ice-wedges, while others were shallow linear ditches circa 0.35 m wide by 0.13 m deep. A few post-holes were also recorded. The ring ditch most likely represented the remains of a small round barrow. Traces of rig and furrow were also uncovered.
