Cropmarks of ring-ditches recorded by CUCAP in 1951. At least three circular crop-marks measuring up to 10m in diameter have been noted north of Newbarns. Close to them is a C-shaped mark, which measures about 15m across. The northernmost part of the C-shaped cropmark was excavated by CFA in September 1998. The ditch was 0.7m deep with a flat base and almost vertical sides. Radius of feature was circa 12m. A number of pits, post-holes and stake-holes were found contained within the surrounding ditch as well as outwith. Two of the pits contained fragments of pottery, one of which was an elaborately decorated beaker rim sherd. A flint artefact of possible Late Neolithic date was also found. Outside the main enclosure a small pit, cut by both the ditch and an other pit, lay slightly off-centre to a ring of at least 10 stake-holes. The circular feature and pits within it are similar to an early Bronze Age enclosed cremation cemetery at North Mains and Balneaves.
