Details Unenclosed settlement showing as cropmarks of at least 12 timber round-houses, with some showing as solid circles with a thin ring around them. Also showing are pit-alignments, enclosures and a possible souterrain. In the corner of the field to the east are two ring-ditches. The area is overlain by rig and furrow showing as crop marks. The pit-alignment is similar to that of Warren Field, Crathes (NO79NW0012) which when excavated proved to be Mesolithic in date. A watching brief was carried out by MAS in 2002 during replacement of an electricity pole and associated works in the southwestern part of the site, but no archaeological features or artefacts were recorded.
