Abstract:		 The article summarises excavation of a variety of sites including Bronze Age hut circles, burial cairns, some with evidence of in situ cremation and many with urns. The cairn at Marchhouse contained an inverted urn with cremated bone associated with an incense cup, bone pin and bronze awl. Medieval circular stone dwellings and later oblong dwellings were excavated. The probable home of a Covenanter John Brown, who was shot in 1685 receives particular attention.
