Cropmarks on aerial photographs have revealed a complex settlement about 300m W of Sheriffton farmsteading. On the NE there is what was classified in the survey of South-east Perth as an 'enclosed crescent' while some 80m to the SW there is an 'interrupted ring-ditch'. A mass of other smaller features can be detected including at least two ditches broken by numerous causeways into elongated pits. The enclosed crescent (NO 1043 2777) comprises a broad penannular cropmark measuring about 14m in overall diameter with traces of a concentric halo. It almost certainly represents a palisaded enclosure some 21m in diameter with a central round house. A smaller crescentic feature immediately to the E may mark the site of a second, unenclosed, round house. The interrupted ring-ditch (NO 1037 2770) comprises a narrow ditch with a diameter of about 13m and what is probably a souterrain emerging from a broad gap on the S. Another curving cropmark lies about 14m to the SW, together with a series of pits and small maculae. Information from RCAHMS (JRS) 14 December 1992.
