Ritual and Landscape on the West Coast of Scotland
In view of the theories of the astronomical significance of standing stones proposed by Alexander Thom, extensive fieldwork was undertaken during the 1970s and early 1980s in the west of Scotland to reassess the field evidence. Two groups of sites were identified from this work that seemed to support an astronomical interpretation, but the poor condition of many of the sites made identification of their original orientation problematical. Excavat…
The Excavation of Dun Flodigarry, Staffin, Isle of Skye
Dun Flodigarry, on the north-east coast of Skye, is a badlyruined Iron Age stone structure on a low rock knoll and having a plan like an open-sided ring. Two-thirds of the double wall remains, two or three courses high, and a C-14 date suggested that it was built in the 1 st century A. D. The interior was full of unstratified earth, with no trace of a floor level; this, and the presence of a deposit of rubble diagnosed as bulling material, sugges…
The typological study of the structures of the Scottish brochs
A brief review of published work highlights the varying quality of information available on the structural features of brochs, and suggests that the evidence is insufficient to support the current farreaching theories of broch origins and evolution.The use of numerical data for classification is discussed, and a cluster analysis of broch dimensions is presented.The three groups suggested by this analysis are examined in relation to geographical l…
