Project (12 November 2008 - 13 January 2009)
NO 1704 4175 Trial resistivity and magnetic gradiometer surveys were carried out over cropmark features: two
square barrows, a ring feature and some possible linear field boundaries/enclosures. Resistivity was ineffective on this site. Magnetics found the ring feature and a rectangular enclosure. Neither detected any trace of a square barrow. This work was carried out with volunteers through PKHT’s Exploring Perthshire’s Past outreach programme between 12 November 2008–13 January 2009.
