Archaeology Notes

NJ81SE 90 centred 8989 1222

A small area of rig-and-furrow is visible in sparse woodland about 440m NNE of Grandhome House (NJ81SE 36). The rigs, which measure about 2m in breadth and are aligned N and S, probably once extended into the cultivated field to the E.

Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, ATW), 20 March 1997.
