Field Visit (28 February 1969)
Cropmarks of enclosures Cambusmichael, visible on St Joseph AP. Both sites are on relatively flat ground in a ploughed field. There is no evidence on the ground. Surveyed at 1/2500 from AP.
Visited by OS (RD) 29 February 1969
Note (June 1992)
NO13SW 30 1151 3248.
For another rectilinear enclosure in the same field, see NO13SW 41.
An area of about 1.5ha around Cambusmichael church (NO13SW 17) is enclosed by two widely-spaced ditches which are only visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The outer ditch is the broader of the two, lying between 26m and 40m outside the inner, and there is a probable entrance close to its E end.
These enclosures probably indicate the site of an early administrative centre, either belonging to the Augustinian abbey at Scone, or to the estate that was granted to the monks by David I (1124-53).
Visited by RCAHMS (SH/AW) June 1992.
