Abstract: |
Guard Archaeology Limited were commissioned by Forestry Commission Scotland to establish a research project on the shores of Loch Eck, Argyll to investigate the presence of up to nine bloomery mounds in relatively close proximity. The project was based around a number of phases of fieldwork, each with particular goals. Phase 1 involved a programme of walkover survey to confirm or refute the presence of the sites at locations suggested by previous investigators and identified three of the nine potential sites. Phase 2 involved trial trench evaluation of two sites (Whistlefield Road and Allt na Ceardaich 2) with the aim of recovering secure datable material. Phase 3 involved the partial excavation of Allt na Ceardaich 1, previously investigated as part of the Scottish Bloomeries Project. |
