Cropmarks of an unenclosed settlement. A double concentric palisaded enclosure is visible with a souterrain lying within the central one. Two other possible souterrains, or sunken huts, lie within the outer one. A third possible circular enclosure appears to underlie the central souterrain, which may indicate reuse of the site. There are up to seven roundhouses, measuring between 10m and 20m in diameter., as well as numerous pits and other cropmarks of enclosures, other dark indeterminate blobs. An archaeological evaluation in 1993 in advance of the realignment of an unclassified road connecting Auchenblae Road and Cemetery Road, impinged on the south-eastern part of the scheduled cropmark complex - see NO88NE0051. It showed that some of the pits may be Mesolithic or Neolithic in date. See also NO88NE0467 for archaeological evaluation in in 2024 on land to the east which also uncovered possible prehistoric features.
