Cropmarks of a rectangular enclosure, and a sinuous cropmark, recorded by J Dewar in 1970 and subsequently by the RCAHMS and CUCAP. Three sides of a rectangular enclosure, probably a settlement, are visible on the south side of the public road (A94) 450m north-northwest of Haughs of Finavon steading. It has rounded corners, and measures 48.5m by at least 25.5m internally. Excavation (before 1983, no further information) has shown that the ditch measures 4.7m in breadth by 1.1m in depth. Further excavation, in advance of A94 widening, revealed poor survival due to gravel extraction in the 1970s. The trench was dug at the junction of the enclosure cropmark and the sinuous cropmark. A 1.6m broad, 0.15m deep north-south ditch, a secondary ditch, at a right angle to the first, and a pit were discovered. No finds, apart from modern glass and barbed wire were recovered.
