Abstract: |
Rectangular turf bank structures were excavated showing that the remains are built of earth and turf banks. No interior surfaces, negative features for uprights or roof supports were identified. The deposits associated with the structures are sterile and indicate a slow accumulation from the steep slope rather than deliberate or incidental deposition at the time of abandonment. No artefacts were recovered. Additional structures were identified and then surveyed and recorded. The structures form a group of denuded turf-banked rectilinear structures of uncertain date. On the basis of morphology and other excavated examples, they could be from the Early Historic to the Post-Medieval periods. |
