Abstract
Excavations at Dull Parish Church by Aberfeldy
Robert S Will
Donald Reid
1 - 2
Excavations at the church, which is probably of seventeenth-century date, revealed disarticulated human remains; a silver groat of Robert III dated to 1403--1406; the remains of a clay-bonded stone wall, and other stones possibly marking the foundations of an earlier wall. A stone removed from the trench at the west end of the church revealed a carved cross on its underside with an inscription, probably dating to the eighth century. Another large cross-inscribed stone was revealed but left in situ. The results of the excavation suggest that the area was previously the site of an Early Christian church.

Battle Moss: making sense of stone rows in northern Scotland
Andrew Baines
Kenneth Brophy
Amelia Pannett
6
Brief report of a limited excavation of the stone rows at Battle Moss, near Wick in Caithness, which revealed that although the erection of each stone was a simple process probably involving no more than two people, the stones seemed to have been erected in precise locations although the rows were wobbly and disjointed and consisted of varying numbers of stones. The authors suggest that the monument was built in stages, possibly adding one stone at a time.

Skilmafilly: a well-dated Bronze Age cremation cemetery
Melanie Johnson
Alison Sheridan
12 - 13
Excavations in 2001 revealed a well-preserved Early Bronze Age cemetery consisting of twenty-eight un-urned and ten urned deposits of cremated human bone in pits, arranged in a tight cluster. Many of the un-urned cremations showed evidence for having been deposited within some form of organic container. A single, massive pit contained material possibly deriving from pyres. The urns comprise Cordoned and Collared urns. Radiocarbon dating is continuing but dates obtained so far range from around 1900 BC to around 1600 BC.
