Abstract: |
A potential circular feature of with 4 larger boulders linked by what seemed to be a stone construction was first identified as part of a field survey conducted in 2013 and an excavation was carried out at the site in June 2014 in order to establish its nature, size, preservation and date. Finds included large sherds of handmade prehistoric pottery and quantities of alder charcoal, the highest concentration of charcoal coming from the central area. The charcoal is being analysed for origin and datecurrently being dated at SUERC. Further walk overs have now identified other up to seven potential hut platforms and detailed topographical survey of the wider area continuesis proposed. D Connolly 2014 |
