Aerial Photographic Interpretation (7 January 1993)
The remains of this settlement complex, which has been revealed by cropmarks on air photographs, comprise at least four of the structures classified in the survey of South-east Perth as Interrupted Ring-ditches. Indeed, Grangemount has one of the largest and best-defined examples of this type of structure, with an internal diameter of about 24m; there are at least two gaps in its perimeter and a curved souterrain-like cropmark extends through one of them. The others in this group are less substantial, but each has the characteristic gaps in the perimeter and the curved souterrain-like cropmark. At least one other interrupted ring-ditch, together with two maculae, lies in the adjacent field some 150m to the ESE (NO 2402 4517).
