Full Description
A stone spread, thought to be a robbed cairn, was exposed during excavation by Headland Archaeology in 2005 at Culduthel. The remains of a thin ground surface survived beneath it and this was mottled with dark patches containing small charcoal flecks and unidentified burnt bone. This had been sealed by substantial deliberately placed stones which was in turn sealed by an amorphous spread of small sub-angular stone in a loose sandy-silt matrix. <1>
Further analysis and final dating of the finds assemblage and site are general are awaited.
