Summary

It was reported to the NAU that there was a ring ditch present on this site. However, a site visit in 1975 noted only that the field had been ploughed and no trace was visible, and aerial photographs from 1980 also noted no such feature. A thorough examination of the available aerial photographs by the NMP in 2008 did not reveal any archaeological features at this site.
