NH 855 524 A series of reconnaissance flights by the Moray Aerial Survey along the south side of the Moray Firth, between Banff and Inverness, since 1984-9 has identified a significant number of presumed prehistoric settlement and mortuary sites. During the survey a ditched enclosure, with a possible souterrain and second enclosure, was examined on the edge of the World War II airfield behind the Brackla Distillery, off the B9090 road between Cawdor and Nairn. Across the period of survey exceptionally clear crop marks were produced by this site in barley, growing on class 2 land, 40m above sea level. Sample excavation was undertaken in 1989 for a variety of reasons.
