Vertical air photography (BKS NJ06S 2633267, flown 9 July 1976) has recorded cropmarks on flat ground at an altitude of 5m OD and within the area of Kinloss airfield (NJ06SE 29.00). Three ring-ditches are apparent to the S of the main runway; one of these is slightly more prominent than the others and may represent a searchlight station [sic.) of the last war.
