The cropmarks of two ring-ditches have been revealed by oblique aerial photographs, 200m NNW of West Mains farmsteading. The S of the two ring-ditches (NT c.5751 5258) is represented by a broad annular ditch with an internal diameter of about 15m to 18m. About 40m NNW is a further ring-ditch, approximately 8m to 10m across. Around and between these features are a number of linear cropmarks.
