Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken in land to the north of Broich Road, Crieff, Perth and Kinross, following the excavation of a cordoned urn burial and the identification of an additional two pits that may have been cremation burials, during a previous evaluation of the area. A trench measuring 20m by 21m was opened up over the location of the features, revealing two further urn burials; three pits containing cremations, two of which contained a copper alloy object, and the third containing five barbed and tanged arrowheads; two post holes; and 13 other pit features whose date and function is unclear. At least one of the urn burials was cut through a subsoil deposit that sealed other features on site. It is possible that at least some of this activity relates to the nearby partly scheduled Broich Cursus (9135), to the east of the excavated remains. |
