Aerial photography has revealed an irregular pair of parallel pit alignments running from S - N across four fields 600m E of Old Craighall. The lines extend for a distance of at least 600m, and are set about 8m apart. The N end of these alignments meets a line of pits running from the WSW to ENE and visible for a distance of about 40m. The parallel pit alignments pass through an area of cropmarks and cultivation remains, and adjacent to the cropmark of an enclosure (NT37SW 69).
