Apart from the ring-ditch NO23SE 20, the cropmarks in the field to the SE of Old Rossie Lodge include at least two ditched barrows, one circular, the other square. The round barrow measures 6m in diameter within its ditch and there are traces of a central grave-pit aligned roughly ENE-WSW. The square barrow is 8m across and also has an elongated grave-pit on the same alignment. The indeterminate cropmarks elsewhere in the field may well hide other elements of the cemetery. Aerial photography has also revealed a ring-ditch enclosing the standing stone known as the Falcon Stone (NO23SE 15), and there are traces of other possible square barrows on a low rise adjacent to the public road to the ENE (NO23SE 22).
