  • A major monastic centre? Rethinking Lismore’s place in the ecclesiastical landscapes of early medieval Britain

    Open AccessClare Ellis, Angela Boyle et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026

    Until recent decades, the monastery of Lios Mòr (Lismore) in Argyll, Scotland, established by Saint Mo Luóc in the sixth century, was attested only via historical references and local traditions. Community-led investigations have now revealed an early medieval cemetery, sophisticated craftworking of international importance and early structures around the island’s parish church. These discoveries underscore the site’s status as a high-ranking ecc…

  • The production of a glass toggle

    Clare Ellis, Martina Bertini et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…2023

    A glass toggle was found among the ashes of a domestic hearth during the excavation of an unenclosed Iron Age settlement at Kilninian, Isle of Mull, Argyll, Scotland. The hearth was radiocarbon dated to 168 cal bc–cal ad 3 (SUERC-46765). The toggle was covered with a black residue that was stuck to its surface and it looked hastily made, using low-quality aqua cullet. Chemical analyses, using LA-ICP-MS, indicate the glass used was a natron-based …

  • Excavations at Upper Largie Quarry, Argyll & Bute, Scotland

    Open AccessMartin L Cook, Martin Cook et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2010Cited by: 5References: 26

    Excavations were carried out intermittently between 1982 and 2005, by various excavators, in advance of quarrying activity at Upper Largie, Kilmartin Glen, Argyll & Bute. They revealed abundant evidence of prehistoric activity, dating from the Mesolithic to the Middle Bronze Age, on a fluvioglacial terrace overlooking the rest of the Glen, although some evidence was doubtless destroyed without record during a period of unmonitored quarrying. Seve…

  • Total excavation of a later prehistoric enclosure at Braehead, Glasgow

    Clare Ellis, Iona Anthony et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…2008

    Total excavation revealed a later prehistoric multi-ditched and multi-palisaded enclosure succeeded by unenclosed settlement. Despite the obvious investment of time and labour in the construction of the numerous palisades and three large concentric ditches episodic, seasonal use of the site is strongly indicated. Total artefact retrieval produced a cannel coal assemblage which has thrown light on the manufacture of the cannel coal bracelets so ty…

  • Excavation of a Neolithic Wooden Platform, Stirlingshire

    Open AccessClare Ellis, Anne Crone et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2002Cited by: 2References: 3

    Parks of Garden, a Neolithic site in southern Scotland, is located within a thin wedge of peat which abuts a ridge of glacial moraine that stretches across the Upper Forth river valley. The site comprises a rapidly constructed small wooden platform dating to 3340–2920 cal BC, within the Early Neolithic period of Scotland. The platform may have functioned as a transitory hunting hide and as a preparation area for hunting and gathering expeditions …
