Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Describes the results of a brief excavation in fenland around the Black Loch of Myrton, close to the coast near Monreith, Wigtownshire, which has revealed part of an Iron Age village built on peat. This is the first of its kind seen in Scotland; only two others are known in Britain, both of which were excavated before the introduction of modern archaeological techniques. The Black Loch of Myrton site offers unique opportunities to answer questions about how Iron Age buildings functioned, whether villages were seasonally occupied, and how long they lasted. It is thought unlikely that the village can be preserved, and the excavators intend to seek funds for a broader programme of archaeological research. LD | ||
