Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and topographic survey was undertaken by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, with local volunteers and AOC Archaeology Group at the hillfort of Moncrieffe Hill, as part of the Tay Landscape Partnership. The evaluation comprised the excavation of three trenches located over the potential ramparts of the hillfort. Concurrent with the evaluation laser scanning of the monument produced a detailed topographic survey of the hillfort that demonstrated that the upstanding earthworks of the hillfort comprised the slight remains of a single rampart along with two possible entrances, one to the east and one to the west. In the three excavation trenches evidence of the structure and use of the hillfort was revealed. These structural remains comprised a rampart with an earth core and dry-stone facing revealed in two of the trenches, along with a hut platform constructed on top of the slumped remains of the rampart in one trench. No rampart was identified in the third trench but a bedrock cut ditch was exposed that may relate to activity within the hillfort. An artefact assemblage relating to the use of the hillfort was recovered including a fragment of shale bracelet and a possible stone gaming piece.
