Excavations on the Roman Fort at Abergavenny, Orchard Site, 1972–73
Excavations revealed important elements of a pre-Flavian fort, including a well-preserved clay and turf rampart, barrack blocks and a granary. A good assemblage of contemporary pottery, metalwork and glass was associated with these levels. The results are assessed with a discussion of previous excavations in Abergavenny. The site also yielded the first firm evidence of the town's Norman defensive bank and later Edwardian town wall. A Civil War ph…
Excavation of a beaker cist at Dornoch Nursery, Sutherland
Excavation by the author, K Antonio and R Gourlay in Dornoch Forestry Commission tree nursery, in January 1980, revealed a cist with massive capstone, an all-over-corded beaker, five arrowheads, a bracer, a strike-a-light and iron ore nodule, a fragment of Grooved ware and remains of an inhumation and a cremation. The contents of the cist were heavily disturbed by animal burrows. No radiocarbon date was obtained because of the high likelihood tha…
Neolithic carvings in Maes Howe
A Neolithic date is argued for at least one of the carvings identified in the tomb in the 19th century, and more tentatively for others in the tomb.In 1861 A W Gibb drew the runic and other carvings in Maes Howe following their discovery during J Farrer's excavations of that year (Farrer 1862, 14).Number 31 (illus 1) was on a plate captioned by Farrer (ibid, 40)
Low cairns, long cists and symbol stones
Low mounds surrounded by rectilinear or circular ditches and low rectilinear and circular kerbed cairns, both groups covering extended inhumation burials, represent a funerary tradition of the pre-Viking Iron Age, predominantly in N Scotland. Sometimes forming cemeteries, these mounds and cairns are loosely associated with Pictish symbol stones, and a possible origin in La Tène burial tradition is suggested. A R
