Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group were commissioned by Forestry Commission Scotland to conduct an archaeological walkover survey of Barnhill and topographic survey of Cult Hill fort, to the southeast of Dollar, Kincardineshire. The survey was undertaken in February 2015 on behalf of the Forestry Commission Scotland. Each of the sites located is assessed according to FCS guidelines on the assessment of importance, and management recommendations are made. A total of 32 archaeological sites were recorded during the walkover. The archaeological features recorded during the walkover survey all related to the post-medieval agricultural use of the area with quarry pits and field boundary dykes being the predominant site type recorded. The significance and value of the heritage assets of the area is considered according to FCS and SHEP guidelines. A topographic survey of Cult Hill fort was also undertaken for conservation management purposes and to provide an enhanced record of the site. The fort occupies the rocky knoll of Cult Hill, which is steep sided on the east and north sides, with more gentle slopes on the west and south. The fort itself comprises a grassed-over rampart encircling the summit of the hill and encloses an area of 0.25 Ha. |
