Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This chapter reports the excavation of a monument at Newton of Petty, close to the shore of the Moray Firth. Although the site was disturbed, enough survived to show that it had been a Clava ring-cairn. Parts of the stone circle and outer kerb remained intact, but the inner kerb, which had been set in a bedding trench, was robbed in the 19th century. The construction of the monument probably took place a little before 2000 BC. The central area of the ring-cairn was later filled by a deposit of sandstone slabs, which had the effect of converting what was originally a circular enclosure into a low platform. The site was reused between about 1100 and 800 BC when a number of pits containing cremation burials were excavated through the material of the earlier cairn. | ||||||
