A one day community walkover survey was undertaken to record sites and features from all periods identified in the study area around the main house at the Hall of Clestrain and in arable fields to the immediate east, southwest and northeast. The walkover survey at the Hall of Clestrain recorded a wide range of newly identified archaeological sites and features, in addition to making updates to the record of previously known sites. The walkover survey covered sites from prehistory (e.g. a standing stone a hut circle sites) to wartime (e.g. the WWII search light emplacement), demonstrating the rich history of the Hall of Clestrain area. Key groups of sites contemporary with the main house at the Hall of Clestrain were recorded, including the walled garden and the doo’cot/knocking stone/earthwork area. These sites and features have the potential to further enhance our knowledge about the history of the Hall and the inhabitation of the farm during the time of John Rae.
