Abstract: |
An excavation was conducted by Highland Archaeology services in august and September of 2007 to identify, excavate and record all features already exposed following a watching brief conducted by CFA Archaeology in May 2007. Two trenches were opened, the main excavation area with a measurement of circa. 4470 m sq and a smaller section immediately to the south circa. 885 m sq. The watching brief had indicated a high concentration of pits, but when investigated, a large proportion were in fact natural depressions filled with topsoil or anomalies attributed to tree root action. Several small pits containing worked flint and BA pottery were found, as well as a large, deep (thought to be) wattle: lined pit with a diameter of 3.50m and stake holes arcing around the base circumference. Three well defined fire pits were also excavated along with a partial curvilinear small ditch-like feature with an increasing depth as it progresses from SE to NW. |
