Abstract: |
The fieldwork consisted of topographic survey, geophysical survey and trial excavation. The topographic survey generated an accurate plan of the monument. This significantly increased the understanding of the layout and sitting of the site. The geophysical survey provided evidence of surviving sub surface features. Two trenches were opened to investigate the potential for surviving archaeology and characterise its depth, condition and date. Although no artefacts or datable material were recovered, the excavations demonstrated in-situ survival of the cairn material below the WWII and later alterations. It has also demonstrated that the WWII pillbox construction and decommissioning works have substantially altered the original shape of the mound/cairn. |
