Vertical aerial photography (OS 82/162/035) has recorded a roughly circular cropmark, possibly representing an old sand- or gravel-pit measuring about 17m in diameter, on a gentle SE-facing slope 70m NW of Wester Hatton farmhouse (NJ91NE 34.00). Although the cropmark is generally forms a solid disc, the SE (downhill) side is less well-defined, and there are two faceted edges on the N and NE.
