Craggie bloomery
This note details the discovery and partial excavation of a bloomery furnace near Craggie Cottage in Glen Oykel, Sutherland, in 2010. Evidence from the excavation casts light on bloomery iron working tradition and dates the use of the furnace to the late 15th–early 17th centuries
Settlement Form and Evolution in the Central Highlands of Scotland, ca. 1100–1900
Excavation of a Neolithic occupation site at Chepelfield, Cowie, Stirling
Pits and oval structures dating from the Meso to the Early and Mid Neo. Pottery and lithics also present. Later Beaker pot radiocarbon dated to 3050--2450 cal BC. There are separately authored reports on
Excavation of 10th-century burials at Chapelhall, Innellan, Argyll, 1994
This paper describes results of salvage excavations undertaken on the remains of an early medieval cemetery at Chapelhall, Innellan, Argyll, in 1994.The limited excavations revealed a total of nine burials located in four trenches on a house building site.The graves indicate the existence of a late 10th-century burial ground associated with the site of a known chapel c 10 m to the north.At least three long cist burials were recognized, two of whi…
Excavations on the Leven, Loudoun Hill, Ayrshire, 1993
Rescue excavations at Loudoun Hill Quarry revealed the remains of timber structures, defined as pits and postholes in the subsoil. A primary phase of activity was represented by two pits which are tentatively dated to the early Neolithic period by association with artefactual and botanical evidence. The second phase of occupation at the site was represented by the construction of a double palisaded enclosure. A third phase of activity is postulat…
Iron-working in medieval Perth
Investigating Burnt Mounds in Clydesdale during Motorway Construction
Two small burnt mounds were excavated as part of the programme to mitigate the impact of motorway construction in the Crawford area. The excavations followed a research strategy designed to address questions of date and function. This paper surveys the various competing theories about burnt mounds and how the archaeological evidence was evaluated against those theories. Both sites produced radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age and evidence to sug…
