Medieval Activity at Beech Tree Close, Oakley, Hampshire
An archaeological excavation in advance of a housing development revealed a range of deposits dating from the 11th to 13th centuries. The features do not conform to what would be expected either for the nucleus of an isolated farmstead or as part of a medieval village, but they perhaps indicate an area of activity adjacent to a more densely settled area. The deposits were relatively rich in charred plant remains indicating arable production. The …
A multi-isotope (C, N, O, Sr, Pb) study of Iron Age and Roman period skeletons from east Edinburgh, Scotland exploring the relationship between decapitation burials and geographical origins
Recent excavations at Musselburgh, East Lothian (Scotland) revealed twelve skeletons, radiocarbon dated to the Iron Age and Roman period. The high incidence of skeletal trauma characteristic of decapitation in those of Roman date makes this site unusual. A multi-isotope investigation of seven of these individuals was conducted to explore any link between intrusive burial practices and migration at one of Britain’s most northerly frontiers. Bulk c…
A prehistoric cremation burial at Duns Law Farm, near Duns, Scottish Borders
A large prehistoric pit was uncovered during a watching brief on a water main installation. The pit was partially stone-lined and two small scoops were identified at the base. These contained one complete and one partial Beaker vessel. The fills of the pit produced a small quantity of cremated human bone which represented a minimum of four individuals (three adults and a juvenile). Also mixed into the fills were sherds of other Beaker vessels, a …
A cremation pit at Howford, Strichen, Aberdeenshire
A small emergency excavation was undertaken under extreme conditions in 1984 after receiving a report that a Bronze Age urn was visible in an eroded embankment after a heavy frost. Cremated remains of a female adult and infant, 11 burnt flints, a possible fragment of ivory and five pierced clay ornaments were subsequently recovered from the remains of a cremation pit, but no urn was recorded. A radiocarbon determination 3510 ± 30 BP (SUERC-33727)…
The Excavation of a World War II Army Camp at Mortonhall, Edinburgh
Archive material relating to Mortonhall, Edinburgh, indicates that there was a World War I army camp within the grounds of the estate, which was occupied by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. However, excavations carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd during Scottish Water’s Edinburgh Drinking Water Project revealed physical remains which relate to a later World War II army camp. This appears to have been initially occupied by the 16th Battalion …
Excavation of an unnamed castle at Cullykhan, Castle Point, Troup
The peninsula known as Castle Point, Troup, was occupied or used from the late Neolithic period to the Second World War. This paper deals with the construction and use of the castle, from the 13th to 17th centuries. The excavations of the castle site revealed the footings of a rectangular tower, with a cobbled courtyard and the remains of a kitchen range to its south-east. Within the kitchen was a collapsed fireplace arch bearing two similar maso…
Medieval Floor and Roof Tiles from Melrose Abbey, Scottish Borders, and the ‘Westminster Tilers’
AN ASSEMBLAGE OF more than 2500 fragments of tile was recovered from within the precinct of Melrose Abbey during excavations in 2009. The collection includes a large group of decorated floor tiles, the designs of which have links with the ‘Westminster School’, and which are unlike any other previously excavated at the abbey. This paper places the group in context and considers the implications of the find
Excavation of a Roman road and discovery of a cup-and-ring marked stone near Crawford, South Lanarkshire
An archaeological excavation was carried out on a section of Roman Road in advance of the installation of an electrical cable between the Clyde windfarm and a substation at Elvanfoot. The road comprised a foundation of large cobbles and sub-rounded stones set directly onto the old ground surface, with the voids packed with angular coarse gravel. It was surfaced with small grained coarse gravel. A large spread of stones located close to the road w…
Excavations at a Multi-period Site at Greenbogs, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and the Four-post Timber Architecture Tradition of Late Neolithic Britain and Ireland
This report outlines the unexpected discovery of a group of Late Neolithic structures at Greenbogs, Monymusk in Aberdeenshire, along with a series of later prehistoric features in the mid-1990s. Recent radiocarbon dating shows that two four-post timber structures found here date to the period 2890–2490 cal bc . These were found in association with a range of other features including an oval structure and diffuse areas of burning. The closest para…
Architectural Terracotta from Westhorpe Hall, Suffolk
This paper summarizes the archaeological investigations carried out at the site of Westhorpe Hall, Suffolk, over the past fifteen years. The Hall was built for Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in c. 1526–33 as his main country residence, but financial problems following the death of his wife, Mary Tudor, resulted in the reversion of the property to the Crown. A lack of interest in the Hall resulted in its rapid demise, and it was finally pulled …
