Cropmarks, including those of a possible souterrain and enclosures, have been revealed by aerial photography 300m SE of Dalminnoch farmsteading. A pair of parallel linear cropmarks, about 4m apart, run N-S from NX 086 640 to NX 086 643, a distance of some 360m. Visible near its S end there is a possible ditched rectilinear enclosure, measuring about 20m by 30m, parallel to and intersecting the linear features. An arc of ditch abutting against the E linear cropmark at NX c.0865 6418 may represent part of a circular enclosure with a centrally placed sub-circular marking. A cropmark feature, 2m by 9m with a kink in the centre, may be of a souterrain. Further cropmarks have been recorded in this field, including a large enclosure, linear cropmarks and a possible pit-alignment to the W (NX06SE 28) and a palisaded enclosure 180m to the S (NX06SE 89).
