Scope and Content Cropmarks of a fort at Kilmurdie, East Lothian The cropmarks of a prehistoric fort occupy a prominent knoll in arable farmland 300m south west of Newbigging steading. The multiple ditches of this strongly defended fort are clearly visible on the photograph, with what may be at least three entrances. 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.
