NY 09514 89350 Geophysical and topographic surveys were undertaken 13–14 November 2010 and 8–11 September 2011 across the location of the cropmarks of a timber cursus, timber circles and round barrows at Lochbrow. The aim of these surveys was to investigate the nature and extent of the sites and monuments, as well as their wider context and topographic location. The gradiometer survey identified several anomalies of interest, including some possible post pits of the cursus, a previously unidentified round barrow, probable pre-modern plough furrows, a rectilinear magnetic anomaly of unknown origin, scattered pits, and magnetic anomalies, probably modern in origin.
