The excavation of Iron Age buildings at Ironshill, Inverkeilor, Angus

Abstract

Part of a complex cropmark site was investigated during the winter of 1982-83. A large circular building (radiocarbon dated to 1970±50 BP) and at least one ring-ditch house (dated to 2340±50 BP) were excavated together with rectangular four-post and six-post structures. An exploratory trench through deep hillwash located stratified deposits which could be related to the structures.
