Details A number of flint tools and flakes of flint, agate and chalcedony recovered in 1981 by J. Sherriff from a gravel and sand promontory which projects on the old flood plain of Montrose Basin. The flint tools comprised two thumb-nail scrapers, one side scraper and three worked flakes. All the finds are now in Montrose Museum. The site was re-walked by E. Stuart in 1997 (see also NO65NE0074) in unfavourable conditions. A small amount of lithic debitage was recovered, comprising waste flakes and chips of flint from NO667562. Geophysical survey showed rig and furrow but no other discernible features. Seven randomly located test-pits showed great variability of topsoil depth on the hillock top. No certain features were found and only a few lithics from the topsoil, including flint flakes, chips and a retouched flake of white agate, indicating that the scatter is widely dispersed through agriculture.
