Archaeology Notes

NT44SW 8 4454 4266

The faint cropmarks of a possible settlement have been revealed by oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) 900m N of Ferniehirst farmsteading. It is roughly circular in shape with an internal diameter of about 90-95m. There are a number of indeterminate cropmarks in the field including some in the interior of the settlement that may represent internal structures.

Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 14 July 1999.
