Category On-line Digital Images

Scope and Content This image covers a wealth of archaeological records, some included here, and many forming part of the Tarradale Archaeological Project, summarised in the relevant Canmore entries. A ring ditch in the field to the left of the wastewater treatment tanks is visible on enlargement of image. The line of a road, presumed to have led to Tarradale House, forms a cropmark in this field. This cropmark continues into the field beyond. On the old shoreline, beyond the wastewater treatment tanks, there is a shell midden (not visible on photo). In the nearer of the two fields at left centre of image a roundhouse and enclosure are recorded, but cropmarks on the image are indeterminate. The darker green field at bottom left has a possible roundhouse, but no cropmark is visible on the image. A dark linear mark, thought to be a road, is highly visible running from right to left. Beyond this, in the same field, a narrow, straight cropmark is perhaps a recent utility trench line. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
