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)…
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…
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…
Excavation of a cairn cemetery at Lundin Links, Fife, in 1965-6
Skeletons and long cists were exposed on the beach at Lundin Links, Fife, after a severe storm in the winter of 1965.An excavation mounted the following Easter to record and excavate these features revealed part of a cemetery, with round and square cairns and long cists.Radiocarbon dates suggest that it was in use for upwards of a century at some time between about 450 and 650.The cemetery may have been related to a long cist cemetery indic…
