A leaf-shaped flint arrowhead was found by Boyd in ploughed land about 10 yds from the cup and ring marked rock (described on NS24NW 19, at NS 2310 4834). It measures 1 1/8 in by 3/4 in, and was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS Accession no: AD 1527). Several pieces of coal and flint were also picked up in this field.

Desk Based Assessment (November 2014 - March 2015)
A desk-based assessment and reconnaissance field survey have been carried out for the Proposed Development Site. Seventeen cultural heritage assets (sites and features) have been identified within the Proposed Development Site. These range in date from the early prehistoric (Neolithic/Bronze Age) to the post-medieval period and include a well-preserved cup and ring marked rock, which is a Scheduled Monument, several prehistoric artefact find-spots, a possible prehistoric enclosure and later post-medieval settlement and agrarian activity.
