Carronbridge, Bell Craig

Cropmarks on an aerial photograph taken in 1977 reveal a ditch cutting across the raised plateau that terminates on the N in the Bell Craig. The character of the W margin of the plateau is not clear from the photograph, and it is now planted with conifers, but the ground certainly falls away sharply along its E flank. The ditch itself probably measures about 3m in breadth and is drawn in a fairly straight line over a distance of about 85m across the plateau about some 75m S of its apex at the Bell Craig. The interior, which extends to about 0.33ha, is apparently featureless, and though the cropmark of the ditch is by no means continuous, there is no clearly defined entrance.
