Oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) has revealed linear cropmarks and rig, 350m WNW of Holm farmsteading. A linear cropmark (NX c.9525 8040 to NX c.9543 8033), runs for about 200m WNW-ESE. A second linear feature (NX c.9554 8038 to NX c.9580 8044), aligned WSW-ENE and slighty curved, is visible for about 260m, and have been recorded 120m to the ENE. A patch of rig-and-furrow cultivation is visible in the SE corner of the field and runs for at least 100m SW-NE. A large number of other archaeological sites are recorded in the surrounding area (see NX98SE 42, NX98SE 68, NX98SE 86, NX98SE 81 ).
Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 1 July 1999.
What is probably a field boundary has been recorded as a cropmark on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995), extending for about 260m in two slight arcs. Rig and furrow is visible across much of the field.
