Abstract: |
A transect of 20 auger holes and 5 soil pits was carried out across the plateau on which the cairn is located and into the adjoining dry valleys to the north and south. Modern soils are shallow to moderately deep rendzinas compared to the moderately shallow decalcified argillic brown earths beneath the cairn. What molluscs were present in the deeper dry valley sediments suggests that past cairn soil changes including erosion, although occuring over a long period of time, became particularly marked as a result of post-Medieval agriculture. |
