Archaeology Notes

NO61SW 8 62738 10327

NO 627 103. Ring-ditch, Balcomie: visible on RCAHMS aerial photographs taken in 1978.

(Undated) information in NMRS.

Aerial reconnaissance has recorded a the cropmark of a ring-ditch about 450m NE of Balcomie Farm Cottages. It measures about 12m in diameter and there is a slight break in the circuit to the ENE. There are patches of rig in the same field and also a series of circular and curvilinear markings in grass about 500m to the SE but the archaeological significance of these is uncertain.
