Aerial Photographic Interpretation (8 December 1992)
NO14SE 37 1676 4284
The cropmark of a penannular ring-ditch has been recorded by air photography in an arable field about 105m S of Whiteloch farmhouse; it measures about 7m in diameter and has a well-defined entrance on the SW.
Penannular ring-ditches of this type are not common in SE Perth, and the remains bear a superficial resemblance to the small henge that was discovered by excavation, stratified beneath the stone circle at Moncreiffe House, Strathearn (NO11NW 11).
Information from RCAHMS (JRS) 8 December 1992.
