    John Lewis, John H Lewis et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1997

    Excavation to the immediate west of the castle revealed considerable evidence of occupation (probably not continuous) dating from c. 1200 to at least the mid-sixteenth century. Most of the structures uncovered were associated with the medieval burgh not the castle. The first timber buildings gave way to a fourteenth-century tannery, probably when the castle was in ruins and unoccupied. The tannery gave way to two phases of residential buildings, …

    The paper examines an inscribed and decorated fragment of a Dark Age stone monument (perhaps a cross-slab) found at Tarbat in Ross-shire and now in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (no IB 286). A revised reading of the damaged inscription is given. The inscription is funerary and commemorates an individual whose name is partly illegible. No reconstruction of the name is offered, but, as it does not appear to be Celtic, Latin or Angl…
