Abstract: |
Further excavations of a group of Iron Age dwellings. The largest is a substantial stone-built circular structure identified as a 'potter's workshop' due to the large quantity of associated pottery and peat fires within. Three less substantial circular structures are located close by. The fourth stone-built structure is rectangular and thought to be of later date. The excavator identified two phases of occupation. Animal bone and worked stone were present. |
