Full Description
Cropmarks of a barrow cemetery recorded by the RCAHMS from 1976 onwards and CUCAP in 1979 during aerial reconnaissance. The site lies between the Lunan Water and rising ground to the northeast, on a level terrace some 5m above the river. Both circular and square ditched barrows have been recorded. There are at least five circular barrows, the largest of which measures about 15m in diameter and the smallest about 6m. There are also at least twelve square barrows measuring up to 8m square. Two of them share a common side and four others form a block measuring about 12m square. The area is overlain by rig and furrow, oriented northeast-southwest, also visible as cropmarks.
