NO53NE 17 centred 596 382.
See also NO53NE 18 and NO53NE 59.
Scheduled with NO53NE 18 as Nether Kelly, unenclosed settlement.
Information from Historic Scotland, scheduling document dated 4 March 1997.
NO 596 382 (centre) A combination of local information and desk-based research revealed that several unusual cropmarks (NMRS NO53NE 17), first recorded in 1982 S of Nether Kelly farmhouse, relate to the former use of the area as an airfield. The airfield layout is shown on the 1959 OS 1:10,000 coverage of the area, although not on more recent editions.
The features apparently relating to the airfield include several large rectangular cropmarks and a wide, pale strip running across the field. Other features in the same field, however, do appear to relate to prehistoric settlement.
