Abstract: |
Local members of the community and campsite visitors, led by professional archaeologists excavated three trenches on 19-20 May 2012 on the ridge northwest of the Iron Age site of Applecross Broch, excavated in 2006-2010. The trenches targeted an area of high resistance recorded by a geophysical survey by Wessex Archaeology during an investigation of the area by Time Team in 2005. One trench revealed no archaeological features or finds, a second trench revealed the remains of the footing of probable boundary wall and the cut for a modern, but unrecorded, test pit and the third trench revealed a pit or ditch containing stone fill. The results indicated that the circular area of high resistance identified in the geophysical survey was likely of geological origin. |
