Scope and Content Cropmarks of an unenclosed settlement, square barrow and enclosure at Leadketty, Perth and Kinross Aerial reconnaisance has recorded a cluster of cropmarks spread across the arable farmland around Leadketty Holdings. Amongst the cropmarks are settlements, enclosures and funerary monuments. Amongst the cropmarks are settlements, enclosures and funerary monuments. The large circular cropmark is probably part of a Bronze Age funerary monument. The surrounding cropmarks presumably relate to an unenclosed settlement. 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. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
