Cropmarks of a possible multi-vallate oval-shaped enclosure is visible on a GIS aerial photography overlay taken in 2002. It may be agricultural but the surrounding ditches appear to be almost complete and wider than tractor wheel width, with a large dark area in the centre. There are at least four ditches of varying thickness, which would perhaps suggest archaeology rather than agriculture. There is a very faint trace of an enclosure at this location on a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1977 by BKS. A watching brief (NJ72SW0210) was undertaken by Cameron Archaeology on September 16th 2016, during a topsoil strip of Trench 5, a 100m section of a cable corridor, 1.8m in width, through the eastern side of the area of cropmarks and adjacent to the East Blairbowie standing stone (NJ72SW0179), following on from a walkover survey ahead of cable laying for SSE (NJ62NE0181).
