| Abstract: | Interim report on excavation in the Warren Field on the Crathes Castle Estate of features identified from aerial photographs, which revealed a rectangular early Neolithic timber building with bowed side walls of a type previously only identified at two sites. The building was radiocarbon dated to around 3800--3700 BC. Two large pits were identified at either end of the building, excavation of one suggesting that it was an open pit possibly lined with branches of alder and hazel. This became filled with occupation material and debris after the building burned down, including fragments of carbonised birch, some with carved decoration, possibly from turned bowls or other small objects. A pit alignment about 150m west of the building was also investigated. | ||||||||||||||
