Aerial Photographic Transcription (4 February 1988 - 10 April 1991)

An aerial transcription was produced from oblique aerial photographs. Information from Historic Environment Scotland (BM) 31 March 2017.

Aerial Photographic Interpretation (10 December 1992)

Cropmarks on air photographs have revealed a series of structures extending along a terrace from Mudhall to Red Brae. That best-defined comprises a palisaded enclosure (some 35m in diameter) within which there are a series of crescentic features and other arcs of cropmark; the inner structures have been classified as an interrupted ring-ditch and the palisade as an enclosed crescent. The other features on the terrace fall into the category of interrupted ring-ditches, and probably incorporate souterrain-like structures. The discovery of two souterrains at Mudhall is recorded in the Old Statistical Account (OSA 1792), and, although their exact locations are not known, they may be represented among the cropmarks.

Information from RCAHMS (JRS) 10 December 1992.
