Scope and Content Cropmarks of a pit-alignment at East Field, Inveresk, East Lothian Aerial survey of the Inveresk area has revealed a remarkable number of prehistoric, Roman and post-Roman remains, visible as cropmarks. A prehistoric pit-alignment or field boundary separates two ditched enclosures. The lower example is probably a homestead: faint traces of a circular house can just be seen. 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.
