A cluster of six shallow Neolithic pits were excavated, and a collection of 157 round-based, carinated bowl sherds and a quern fragment were recovered from them. The pits produced a date range of 3700 to 3360 cal BC. Most of the pits yielded burnt material, and one of the pits showed evidence of in situ burning. The pottery may form 'structured deposits'. A Bronze Age adult cremation placed in a Food Vessel dated to 3610±30 BP (2040'“1880 cal BC) was set in a wider landscape of single and multiple cremations and inhumations on the river terraces overlooking the Clyde. A possible unurned cremation was also identified. This was cut by the course of a small ring-ditch dated to the very late Bronze Age or early Iron Age 2520±30 BP (800'“530cal BC).

Examines two stretches of the base of the Antonine Wall which, although on public display since early in the 20th century and consequently well-known, have never previously been surveyed in detail. Presents the results of a measured survey of the visible wall base, reviews the history of study of the monument here and suggests that the visible features provide evidence for differing building practices between squads and for repairs to the wall.

A small discoid stone fragment from the churchyard at Collace, Perthshire (now missing) is described. It is suggested that this is likely to be the disc head of a medieval marker stone. Its style is placed in its wider European context, and the nature of the design and its symbolism is discussed. Au/PP-B
