Abstract: |
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring of the restoration and conservation work on Kilvickeon Church, Mull. During the course of the work the damaged east and west walls of the church were reconsolidated and made safe to visitors and a shallow trench was excavated across the church interior for a new gravel surface. These works uncovered substantial archaeological remains just below the topsoil within the interior of the church. This included a rubble foundation layer containing two worked mill stones and at least two human inhumations. One of these inhumations was in a well cut grave, possibly stone lined, with a large stone capstone. In addition the topsoil of the church itself was full of fragmented human bones. |
