Abstract: |
Killievair Standing Stone, is a standing stone of uncertain date which stands in an arable field close to Brechin, Angus. It is a Scheduled Monument (SM 123). The stone slumped in 1991 and completely fell over during 2018. A trench measuring 2m x 2m was excavated centred on the socket. A linear ditch was identified beneath the stone, and fully excavated. A combination of the slow collapse of the stone and long-term bioturbation had blurred any horizons which may have illuminated the relationship between the stone and the ditch. As such, the results of the excavation are inconclusive No further archaeological features were identified. Following the excavation, the stone was re-erected in its socket. |
