Abstract: |
The Scheduled Monument of Carlinwell Standing Stone fell over in January 2010. Historic Scotland commissioned the investigation of the socket and the stone's re-erection. A trench measuring 2m by 2m was excavated, centred on the stone's socket. Two pits containing inverted Collared Urns with cremations were found. The standing stone socket was found to be oval in plan and measured 1.1m by 0.8m, with a re-cut on the south side containing large packing stones, possibly in an attempt to prevent the stone from toppling as the stone had a significant lean to the south. One of the packing stones from this re-cut had damaged one of the Collared Urns. |
