Details Numerous cropmarks of features belonging to the prehistoric period. These include oval or rectilinear enclosures with rounded corners, ring ditches, souterrains and pits. There are also pit circles with souterrains attached. Two parallel lines run across a field boundary, with the suggestion of possible pits within the entrance to each open end. This could be a cursus, but most likely a ploughed-out bank barrow, the first of its site-type to be found in Northeast Scotland. There are also numerous other indeterminate cropmarks.
