Cropmarks of a settlement comprising a complex area of cropmarks recorded by CUCAP in 1977 and by the RCAHMS since 1976 during ongoing aerial reconnaissance. The arc of a ditch, possibly the southeast side of an enclosure, is revealed by crop marks 280m east-northeast of Arrat's Mill. M Tolan noted two pit-circles, one of them obscured by the cropmark of a souterrain, in 1988. A number of other crop marks are visible in the same field some 250m east-northeast of Arrat's Mill. There is an interrupted ring-ditch at NO 6463 5857 measuring about 20m across with three gaps in it's perimeter and a curved souterrain-like cropmark extending through the gap to the east. What appears to be a Four-Poster setting lies by the gap on the west side (at NO 6462 5857) and is approximately 4m square. There are also two pit-circles within ring-ditches nearby. The first, at NO 6460 5854, lying to the southwest of the interrupted ring-ditch, is about 12m in diameter within two arcs of ditch on the north and south sides some 16m apart. Any possible continuation of the ditch to the east is obscured by other cropmarks, but there appears to be a break in the west side for a souterrain which also has two smaller passages leading off to the west and hooks around within the pit-circle to the east. The second pit-circle, at NO 6460 5861, is smaller, about 10m in diameter surrounded by a broad arc of ditch curving around the south side which obscures the probable pits on that side. Pits are clearly visible on the north side as well as a narrow outer ditch to the east about 4m from the inner broad ditch. There are other maculae and cultivation remains in the field.
