Details Cropmarks of a circular enclosure, pits showing as faint dark traces and dark blobs and also a faint trace of rig and furrow. Test pitting in 2004 (as part of the Kintore Landscape Project - see NJ81NW0198) revealed a flint narrow blade assemblage including debitage cores and burn material that has been tentatively dated to the Mesolithic. An excavation was undertaken in 2005. Two sections were excavated across the ditch of the enclosure, which revealed contrasting ditch profiles: one was 1.5m wide and up to 1m deep, with 2 or 3 recuts. The second profile was 0.9m wide and up to 0.4m deep and was recut at least once. The variance might be due to the two features being unrelated. Within the enclosure was at least one roundhouse with a sunken floor.
