2014 RCAHMS Aerial Survey

An unenclosed settlement and field boundary have been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1996) some 120m NW of Newbarns Smithy. The unenclosed settlement comprises a ring ditch and an adjacent circle of pits, both the remains of roundhouses, and further amorphous cropmarks may be the remains of more. The field boundary lies some 30m N of the unenclosed settlement and extends E-W for a distance of about 120m.
