Archaeology Notes

NH54NW 149 5384 4939

What may be a pit-defined enclosure has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2000) lying within a scatter of pits and linear cropmarks on level ground about 200m NNW of Gilchrist. The possible enclosure is roughly oval on plan, measuring about 30m WNW-ESE by about 10m, within pits about 2m in diameter. Pits and linear cropmarks, largely oriented roughly NW-SE, surround the enclosure.
