Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In response to the coastal erosion of the eastern end of Cille Bhrea chapel and graveyard, which had exposed human skeletal material, excavation took place of this medieval and post-medieval church and graveyard at risk from erosion. The 1998 excavations at Cille Bhrea recovered information on a sequence of fifty graves along the eroding edge of the Cromarty Firth. The fabric of the chapel was also exposed, recorded and the very eastern limit of the chapel excavated. Pottery recovered from the site indicated activity during the twelfth to fifteenth centuries, while metalwork from the graves demonstrates activity from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Seven radiometric dates from skeletal material support seventeenth- to nineteenth-century dates for the burials. The surviving chapel fabric relates principally to the renewal of the structure in the seventeenth century as a mausoleum for the Munros of Foulis. Includes specialist reports on | |||||||||||||||||
