The cropmarks of a round house, pits and at least three pit-alignments have been revealed by oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995), 250m S of Balmore farmsteading. The round house (NH c.6256 3918 ) measures about 12m in diameter. A pit-alignment (NH c.6254 3921) containing three pits and aligned NW-SE, is situated approximately 30m to the NW. Some 35m to the E is a second one (NH c.6259 3920), aligned WNW-ESE, containing at least six pits. A third pit-alignment (NH c.6249 3923), situated approximately 60m NW of the round house, contains at least four pits with some more pits visible immediately to the SE and SW of it. There are a number of other pits in this area and these may form additional pit-alignments. There are also some indeterminate cropmarks, the most distinctive being a roughly crescentic mark (NH c.6255 3923), which may represent a round house.
