An aerial transcription was produced from oblique aerial photographs. Information from Historic Environment Scotland (BM) 31 March 2017.

Aerial Photographic Interpretation (9 December 2021)

Features recorded as cropmarking on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) and previously identified as barrows have been interpreted as geological features. The pit alignment previously recognised could not be identified and has been removed from the classification. A general scattering of pits of unknown date and function has been recorded around the location of these features.

Information from HES Archaeological Survey (K. Millican) 9 December 2021
