Scope and Content Settlement and field system at Castlefield, Dumfries and Galloway This settlement lies 600m north-west of Castlefield cottage. Cropmarks show that the enclosure was surrounded by a ditch up to 3m wide with an entrance on the south-east which leads into the ditch field-system. Aerial survey can reveal the remains of buried archaeological sites. Cereal crops, such as barley grow to different heights: there is better growth over a buried ditch than over buried stones. This height difference is visible from the air as a cropmark. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
