Aerial reconnaissance has recorded the cropmarks of a ring-ditch and possible long-barrow to the N of the standing stone at Haugh of Grandtully Farm (see NN95SW 7). The ring-ditch, probably a barrow, measures about 15m in diameter within a complete circuit. No internal features are clear. The possible long-barrow consists of two irregular ditches, not quite parallel, running WNW-ESE for over 100m. The distance between the ditches varies between about 6m and 12m with the broadest distance at the ESE end some 20m from the ring-ditch. The ditches appear to taper to a possible rounded end at the WNW. (For other round barrows in the same field see NN95SW 45 and cremation cemetery at NN95SW 44.)
Information from RCAHMS (RHM) 5 November 1996.
Scheduled with NN95SW 7 and NN95SW 45 as Haugh of Grandtully, standing stone and barrows.
