Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited on an area proposed for warehouse construction at Coultorsay, near Bruichladdich, Islay. The archaeological works included a preliminary phase of evaluation and monitored topsoil strip followed by excavation when significant archaeological remains were uncovered. These remains were located in four separate areas along the proposed development site and comprised predominantly prehistoric remains including pit and posthole clusters with Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery sherds and lithic artefacts (sites 1 and 2), a timber post built D-shaped structure (site 3), pits/spreads containing hearth material (site 4) and a large settlement/work site comprising a figure-of-eight gully structure with pits containing industrial waste and artefacts including possible Iron Age pottery sherds, a fragment of shale bracelet, worked bone, rotary quern and stone pot lids (site 5). |
