Field Visit (March 1978)
Newton NO 609 467 NO64NW
The crop-marks of what is probably a multi-period settlement site have been located on a gravel ridge NW of Mill of Colliston. At least three penannular marks, which probably represent ring-ditch houses, run in a line to the NW of the largest house which measures 8m in diameter within its ditch. To the W of these there is what is probably a souterrain, measuring about 10m in length and possibly associated with the remains of a ring-groove house. About 30m N of the souterrain there is a pit-circle measuring about 10m in internal diameter; a number of other pits are visible over the rest of the site.
