NJ 0212 5844 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken 2 April – 25 May 2012 at Greshop Farm cropmark site (NJ05NW 35) prior to work associated with the Forres Flood Alleviation Scheme. A 3.2ha area of topsoil was stripped, including a 12m strip through a scheduled monument (4020), and this was followed by 1250m2 of evaluation trenching. Neither the topsoil stripping across the scheduled monument nor the trial trenching revealed any features of archaeological significance. However, removal of topsoil from an area to the E of the scheduled area, which contained a number of possible cropmarks, revealed a number of natural features and a group of three square barrows. These were excavated and were found to have been somewhat plough damaged.
