Aerial Photographic Interpretation (25 February 1993)
NO22SW 16 2398 2142 and 2416 2138.
Aerial photography has revealed traces of cropmarks across two large fields to the S of Mains of Errol steading. The principal group of features comprises enclosure ditches, maculae and pits on the edge of the terrain 600m S of the farm, and there are also traces of a possible rectangular building a short distance to the N.
Another cluster of maculae lies about 150m to the ESE ( NO22SW 14 NO 2416 2138), but there are also other artificial markings scattered across both fields.
