Abstract:		 This article investigates the large expanse of blanket peat in the British Isles at Caithness Plain, north-east Scotland. It has often been assumed that prehistoric farming communities retreated when the peat started to spread across the landscape. However, it has also been suggested that the farmers could have controlled the advance of the peat through repeated cultivation. This model is tested through the examination of sediment stratigraphies, which indicate that there was not a reduction in activity in the early first millennium BC, but that the pollen record does indicate that crop-growing was not a significant component of agricultural practices after around 3000 Cal BP. It is suggested that local abandonment may have eventually occurred between 2100 and 1400 Cal BP.
