Abstract: |
An evaluation and excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Mar Estates Ltd, prior to the proposed golf course development at Mar Hall, Bishopton, Renfrewshire. The excavation recorded the full extent of a highly significant enclosure measuring 70 m in diameter. It consisted of an outer palisade, a ditch, two further inner palisades and at least four concentric circular features, parts of which were integral to the formation of the same entranceway. As well as the enclosure a number of pits of unknown function and a burnt mound were also found. |
