Oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) have revealed the cropmarks of a large number of pits in the NW end of a field, 200m SW of Ballantrae Bridge (NX08SE 25). Divided into three areas, the first ( NX c.08465 8205) aligned from W to E, measures about 80m. The second area (NX c.0865 8205), aligned from WSW to ENE, measures approximately 180m. The third and largest area of pits (NX 0860 8200), from SW to NE, measures about 200m. The large number of pits suggest that this is a group of possible inhumation burials. In addition there are a large number of other cropmarks situated in the surrounding area (see NX08SE 32, NX08SE 34, NX08SE 35, NX08SE 36 ).
