Details	Cropmarks of a number of ring-ditches have been recorded by the RCAHMS on aerial photographs taken in 1979. They probably represent the remains of an unenclosed settlement. The features are scattered across the field. The probable settlement remains include at least three faint crescentic marks (probably houses) with further arcs of ditch and crescentic shapes representing some six further ring-ditches. Possible short double pit-alignments are visible at circa NO 6070 3921 and circa NO 6051 3914, each no more than 12 m long. A possible four-poster or mortuary enclosure is also recorded. The field also has cropmarks of rig and furrow.
