Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Brief interim account of fieldwork carried out during 2006, focusing on walk-over surveys and mapping along the southern slopes of the Carn Meini outcrops and the carns themselves. A basic model of activity emerged on a linear sequence of quarry-pits dug to exploit a band of meda-mudstone at the foot of the slope, followed by later exploitation of the spotted dolerite (`bluestone') which created a further scatter of material. One or both of these phases are associated with settlement represented by a group of round houses at the east end of the ridge and a single round house near the centre. Evidence for later exploitation of the bluestone is represented by occasional quarries with evidence of mechanical drilling and clusters of debris around partly broken-up earthfast boulders which usually include cases of metal wedges still embedded in rock fissures. A scatter of crude rectangular structures associated with enclosures was recognised; these seem to have had an agrarian purpose. In addition, the geophysical survey of Banc Du was continued and radiocarbon dates obtained for the ditch of the enclosure excavated in 2005. Notes are also included on surface finds and a cup-marked stone at Llanferran Farm, Pencaer. Includes | |||||||||||||
