Scope and Content Enclosure at Elphinstone Tower, East Lothian Cropmarks of an enclosure were first identified by the RCAHMS in 1994 during aerial reconnaisance, located some 300m north-west of Elphinstone Tower. Roughly rectangular, the enclosure lies within a ditch and is about 70m long and about 30m broad. 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.
