Creator(s): Fargher, Anna
Scope & Content: Undergraduate illustrated Archaeology second year aerial photography assignment submitted to the University of Sheffield. The author considers the crop marks featured in two oblique aerial photographs of Cronk Moor farm (sic), Arbory by using the RCHME classification sysem of morphological description and then making comparisons with crop marks found at Ballacagen and Ballanorris, Kiondroghad (Andreas) and Ballanicholas (Santon). Fargher concludes that Cronk Moor could possibly be an iron age round house site although the evidence is'sketchy'. She notes that a comprehensive aerial project needs to be undertaken as a means of recording and finding new sites.
