NJ 571 088. Kintocher: ring ditches.

Field Visit (27 September 1994)
NJ50NE 19 5717 0887
This cropmark was located on a gentle W-facing slope above the Leochel Burn. When visited the site was clearly visible in a field of kale, which grew 0.3m higher over the ditch than to either side of it. The ditch measured 2.3m in width, enclosing an oval area 16.4m E-W by 15.5m transversely. There was a break in the ditch on the ESE and in the centre of the site the kale crop stood slightly higher across an area measuring 10.7m in diameter, suggesting a slightly dished interior.

Note (1999)
Air photography (AAS/78/7/R5/1-14 and AAS/78/7/S9/9) has recorded the circular cropmark of a 'ring ditch' with a 'substantial ditch' and 'possibly a henge' in an area of arable ground at an altitude of 220m OD.
