Broich

A 410m long cursus defined by two ditches running NNE to SSW across the broad terrace to the S of Crieff has been identified on aerial photographs. The two ditches are 135m apart at the NNE end, and 105m apart at the SSW end.

The line of the W ditch is broken by what may be a pit-defined circle measuring about 12m in diameter, while the E ditch is intersected by two palisaded trenches.

The site of the Stayt of Crieff – the ancient mound of justice – lies immediately to the E of the W ditch.
