Some excellent aerial foties. But what a place to find, thats an adventure in itself!

Wonderful site plus all the bits I don’t have a clue about plus a couple of aerial foties.
Details about the fort and cairn. Some nice aerial foties.
Clever, these guys. I wished I’d seen this before and then I’d have spotted the Maiden Stone. Ah well!
All the details of the fort and settlement. Now mainly covered in grass and heather.
All the things I missed, but they didn’t mention the dead beasts!
Yet another settlement in this area which already has Larrick and Greenlands. This seems to have been populated probably due to the closeness of the River Don and agricultural conditions.
A member of the golf club phoned and told me about this burial cairn. Cheers Caroline! (Good to read that when they discovered something they immediately did something about it!) Pics later, to much snow.
I’ve walked and driven past this site plenty of times always calling it Mill Hill. Checked the OS and found I’d been wrong for a very long time. Some info for the time being.
More info about the three cairns, this being the long cairn.
All the details of the historic cairn and some pointers on why not to give anything to the local museum. Just joking, very helpful people.
Details of destruction and other parts of the Bin Hill.
Remember to look out for the “wee” sign at the top of the last road.
This describes that this site is part of an ancient settlement containing several hut circles as well as the nearby ring cairn.
I think I’ll have to go back with a torch and have a really close look for the rock art.
The Ancient Monument Schedule for the Corbie Knap, the map also shows that there was at least a stone stood at Greenhill before it’s destruction/burial. Also shown are the location of former cairns and most interestingly a Picts fort.
Mr. Robertson still lives at the farm and doesn’t mind if people stop as long as they don’t disturb farm work and cattle.
I tend to agree with the older description rather than OS’s more up to date version.
A really good description from the Canmore people. But I’ll find the rest and add more images.
What the Canmore chaps and chapesses think.
Canmore’s discoveries at the coastal fort.
What they found at the very windy Iron Age fort.
This doesn’t mention any of the stone circles and thats the worrying thing. When you type “Hill Of Fiddes Stone Circle” in the search space no information can be found. Even worse the get in touch section doesn’t seem to work. Does this mean that they might be removed on the sly? I’ve no problems with wind turbines but does this happen elsewhere? Probably it does!!
Some images and all the discoveries found at this obviously well used place thru out the ages.
All the details about the remains of this fort which is situated just east of the highly spectacular ruins of Findlater Castle.
Some aerial images of the fort.
Many digital images and descriptions of many finds from the Bronze/Iron age, Roman and more recent.
Alexandra Shepherd’s extended notes for the many findings. Lots of helpful pictures and diagrams, plus a map showing some of sites surrounding the barrow. Great stuff!
All of their finds at this site.
Three out of four stones and no pictures.
Some more aerial images.
Several excellent aerial photographs on this site.
The scheduling and rescheduling of this ancient fort. Good aerial photography.
All the technical stuff, finds and most importantly the OS references! Funny at the end they say this site has 3 scheduled kerb cairns, yet in their descriptions they count more. Strange!
Descriptions of the various discoveries.
This is for the cairn and cross incised stone, which by sheer luck I stumbled upon.
Rather better than my fieldnotes!
Says one stone here, but a second stone has appeared pretending to be a little flanker! Or has it been put there recently?
Previous visits by much more learned people. All good stuff!
All the exact measurements.
Loads of superb finds at this site.
Tims been dowsing again!
There are loads of sites in this area so plenty of hill climbs coming up. The Deveron runs near my home town so it will be good to see it closer to it’s source.
I find it hard to beleve that these guys didn’t spot the stones amongst the bushes. Luckily for me John Porter did.
No mention of the bones.
