Volatile weather-conditions in early spring led to a late start of the main summer programme, but at least 500 sites were recorded as cropmarks. The most productive areas were in Eastern and South-eastern Scotland, but the Solway and Moray Firth districts were also surveyed with profit. Particularly noteworthy were the new details observed in the Holywood cursus (Nithsdale District, Dumfries and Galloway), new elements in the Roman Forth-Tay frontier, and the cropmark complex in upper Strathtay (possible including a previously unrecorded early monastic site at Fortingall (Perth and Kinross District, Tayside).
