Some excavations on the line of the Antonine Wall, 1994-2001
The results of over thirty separate excavations and watching briefs along the line of the Antonine Wall are presented. The alignment and character of the frontier works and fort defences were clarified in several places. New information was obtained regarding a possible enclosure on the north side of the Wall near Auchendavy. Material includes

Ruthven in Badenoch
Excavations in 1983 brought to light physical evidence for the later medieval castle, including the well, and shed new light on the layout of the military barracks which replaced it after the 1715 Jacobite Rising. The project was funded by Historic Scotland
Survey and excavation at Kilearnan Hill, Sutherland, 1982-3
Reports on work carried out in advance of forestry development which revealed Bronze Age hut circles, cairns and burnt mounds
The excavation of two later Iron Age fortified homesteads at Aldclune, Blair Atholl, Perth & Kinross
Two small `forts', probably large round houses, occupying a natural eminence and further defended by banks and ditches, were excavated in advance of road building. Construction began at Site 2 between the first and second centuries BC and at Site 1 between the second and third centuries AD. Two major phases of occupation were found at each site. There are notes on: `Natural topography and landuse' by I D Máté (411--12); `Charcoal identification' …
Excavation of a promontory fort and a palisaded homestead at Lower Greenyards, Bannockburn, Stirling, 1982–5
Excavations undertaken in 1982,1984 and 1985 on cropmark sites of a promontory fort and nearby palisaded homestead revealed structural remains mainly of the Iron Age and evidence of occupation or other activity from the Mesolithic to the present day. The palisaded homestead was paralleled by a similar homestead phase of the occupation of the promontory, later replaced by a fort with three periods of defence construction. The project was organized…
The Iron Age in Shetland
Excavations of an enclosure system at Rough Castle, Falkirk
Trenches were cut through the banks of enclosures and field systems adjacent to the Roman fort of Rough Castle on the Antonine Wall.The latest field system was of 19th-century date.A second field system is thought to be intermediate in date between this and a smaller enclosure system, the latter probably of Roman or prehistoric date.There are some similarities between the enclosures and those adjacent to other Roman fans.The only find was a Neoli…
Excavations at Sueno's Stone, Forres, Moray
Reports work surrounding the stone, undertaken prior to the construction of a protective glass pavilion around it
Excavations at Three Early Bronze Age Burial Monuments in Scotland
The excavations of the cemetery groups at Balneaves, Loanleven and Park of Tongland facilitate an examination of many aspects of Bronze Age burial practices in Scotland. They are notable as much for the differences in burial ritual they imply as for the very narrow chronological period in which they were used. The three sites produced a total of seventeen 14 C dates, two of which are aberrant, with means of the remaining fifteen falling within a …
Excavation at Newton, Islay
Excavations at Newton have revealed three phases of land use. Mesolithic activity was restricted to small flint working and domestic sites. A Neolithic phase appears to relate to a fragile soil resource which rapidly declined in quality. The final phase, possibly related to a Christian Irish presence on the island, occurs late in the sequence
Excavation of an earthwork at Cnoc a' Chaisteil, Alness, Easter Ross, 1983
This promontory fort on the Cromarty Firth in northeast Scotland may have been built as early as the 6th century be but secondary use occurred in the 10th or 11th centuries ad. There were no finds from these early occupations
Excavations at Clatchard Craig, Fife
Neo and IA pottery was found but the multiple ramparts were all of Dark Age date. Ramparts 1 and 3 were timber-laced and had been burnt; radiocarbon dates suggest construction in the 6th/7th century AD. Rampart 2, on a different line, incorporated mortared Roman stones. Finds include a metal disc in hanging-bowl style and a group of clay moulds for penannular brooches of 8th century type. Au (abr)
