Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological and paleoenvironmental evaluation works prior to an extension to Duntilland Quarry, in order to fulfill a planning condition. Two areas of peat, Tod Holes and Duntilland Moss, were investigated for their paleoenvironmental potential by means of an augur survey, and four turf structures were investigated and recorded by means of slot trenching and topographical survey. No direct dating evidence was recovered from the turf structures but they can be said to post-date the rig and furrow which was present across the site. The coring works successfully established the extents of both peat basins, and samples suitable for radiocarbon dating were taken from the deepest deposits. Although no assessment work has been taken on the peat, initial indications are that it represents tall-herb communities such as reed and sedge colonising shallow water levels. |
