Abstract: |
A trial trenching evaluation was undertaken by CFA at Dubton Farm, to the west of Brechin covering 5370m2 or 7% of the development area. A scatter of generally shallow pits and linear features was recorded. Rig-and-furrow cultivation furrows were also recorded across parts of the site, generally aligned NW-SE. Two suites of archaeological remains were exposed and tested. The first of these comprises the remains of a post-built roundhouse with a diameter of 6m. The second suite of features comprises the remains of a souterrain with associated post-built roundhouse. The souterrain, a curved underground passage, appears to follow the curve of an arc of pits along its inner edge, which is likely to be the remains of a timber built roundhouse with which the souterrain was associated. |
