Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports on extensive fieldwork undertaken during the 1970s and 1980s in west Scotland to reassess the field evidence in the light of the archaeoastronomical theories proposed by Alexander Thom. Although an archaeoastronomical interpretation seemed to be supported at two groups of sites, the poor condition of many of these made identification of their original orientation problematical. Excavations carried out to establish the orientation of two damaged sites in the north Mull group suggests a more complex relationship between astronomical events and topography than has been appreciated hitherto. The first radiocarbon dates from a Scottish stone row suggest that one site was constructed in the Bronze Age. | ||
