Abstract: |
A two week training field school was carried out at Kildavie, North West Mull, with excavation of one building and a series of test pits opened. The excavation continued work in the North West Mull Community Woodland from previous years work by HARP, and was carried out by an international team of university students, and members of the Mull Archaeology Interest Group. The excavations revealed the interior of a domestic building within the main settlement, and the remains of a circular stone structure, possibly prehistoric in origin, located on a plateau to the south east of the township. The building investigated was the last used or occupied building within the township, likely dating to the first half of the nineteenth century. The circular stone structure identified on a nearby plateu indicates a possibly prehistoric origin, but further excavation is required to confirm this. The finds included pottery fragments, fragments of glass, and fragments of animal bones. Excavations will continue in summer 2019. |
