Abstract: |
Topsoil stripping in advance of a further extension to Powmyre sand and gravel quarry (Phase III) was carried out under an archaeological watching brief. The findings continued the pattern of widely scattered, multi-period remains seen in previous phases of work. A double row of postholes was recorded, located on top of a ridge, with a pit nearby which has been radiocarbon dated to the Early Neolithic. A small group of undated pits was found along the edge of a shallow lake or marsh to the east of the site. Three open-sided, oval fenced enclosures, 30-38 m wide and located on sloping ground, are thought to relate to livestock management. A 2nd-3rd century AD radiocarbon date was obtained from one of the enclosures. A single corn-drying kiln, probably medieval or post-medieval in date, was also found. |
