Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A damaged Neolithic cairn was located during archaeological survey on the edge of a limestone quarry. The monument proved to be the rear portion of a trapezoidal long cairn with a complex structural sequence which included collective mortuary deposits and also encapsulated a single inhumation contained within an oval cairn. Post-excavation work has identified a sequence of seven phases of activity which extend over a period of between 120 and 270 years in the middle part of the fourth millennium BC, with subsequent disturbance of the cairn some 1500 years later, in the Early Bronze Age. The Neolithic finds comprise remains of 17 individuals together with Carinated bowl pottery and lithics which include a notable series of arrowheads found with the skeletal material. | ||||||||||||
