Abstract: |
Low mounds surrounded by rectilinear or circular ditches and low rectilinear and circular kerbed cairns, both groups covering extended inhumation burials, represent a funerary tradition of the pre-Viking Iron Age, predominantly in N Scotland. Sometimes forming cemeteries, these mounds and cairns are loosely associated with Pictish symbol stones, and a possible origin in La Tène burial tradition is suggested. A R |
