Air photography (AAS/96/15/G39/8-10, flown 27 August 1996) has recorded the cropmark of a possible oval enclosure on the summit of a hill in an area of rank grass and heather; it may, however, be no more than a vegetation-mark. [The cited location at NJ 741 268 is evidently erroneous].
Information from Aberdeenshire Archaeological Service, October 1996.

Oblique aerial photography (AAS/96/15/G39/8-10), flown on 27 August 1996, has recorded a vegetation mark that looks like a small circular enclosure overlying broad rig (NJ72SW 61). However, no trace of the vegetation mark was seen on the date of visit.

This alleged enclosure, which was recorded by aerial photography in 1996, appears to be no more than a surface effect in the vegetation growing in an area of broad rig cultivation (NJ72SW 61).
