NT 143 774 An area ground resistance survey of the broad grass verges at the road junction in the village commenced in the NW corner to ascertain whether the medieval village was built closer to the road. The results show slight parallel lines that may represent property boundaries, but no foundations were detected. Further W, adjacent to Wester Dalmeny, a number of irregular high resistances may link to previous findings (DES 2002, 53). The only other recognisable feature is a footpath shown on the 1896 25" OS map.
