The cropmark of an oval enclosure (measuring about 30m by 27m) lies on the summit of a low ridge about 80m NW of Cambusmichael farmsteading. Crescentic markings within the interior indicate the position of a central round-house, while another crescent (immediately to the E at NO 1156 3227) reveals the position of a second (unenclosed) example. In the course of the survey of SE Perth, this site was classified as an enclosed crescent; in the majority of such cases, the enclosing perimeter appears to be a palisade trench, but here the cropmark suggests a wider feature, possibly a narrow ditch.
