Archaeology Notes

NO64NE 72 6785 4978.

Oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) show the cropmarks of a possible square barrow, and linear cropmarks stretching SW-NE, 500m N of Newbarns cottages. The barrow measures about 10m by 10m.

Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 15 April 1999.

The maculae to the N of the square barrow probably represent the remains of buildings, that to the W being a sunken-floored roundhouse also about 10m in diameter. The easternmost cropmark is rectangular and could be a smaller sunken-floored building about 4m on a side. The linear cropmarks to the S could represent a track about 10m wide with perpendicular field boundaries to its S.

Information from RCAHMS (SMDG) 6 January 2005
