Introduction

Abstract

The density of monumentality of the archaeological remains on these uplands indicates the area's importance to those living in or travelling to the Upper Clyde Valley during prehistory. The topographic and geophysical surveys, field walking and trial excavation undertaken as part of the project reported upon here, along with the results of the 1980s fieldwork, have produced a more informed understanding of the character and development of the monuments on the uplands and of how the surrounding landscape was inhabited.
