Scope and Content Archwood Hill, fort, Dumfries and Galloway Aerial photography first noted these remarkable cropmarks on the slope of Archwood Hill (100m north-west of Archwood steading) in 1975. The multiple ditches of this ploughed-out fort are clearly revealed in this aerial view. Aerial survey can reveal the remains of buried archaeological sites. Cereal crops, such as barley grow to different heights: there is better growth over a buried ditch than over buried stones. This height difference is visible from the air as a cropmark.
