NJ 1821 6149 During March and April 2014, volunteers from the Moray Archaeology for All community undertook a programme of field walks over known prehistoric settlement/ enclosure sites in Moray. For further background information see Paddockhaugh, Birnie.
The fieldwalking at Ardgye was undertaken on 16 March 2014. The site was selected as cropmark evidence suggested the presence of an unenclosed settlement and souterrains. The work recovered no prehistoric pottery and there appears to be little evidence of prehistoric settlement. A total of nine pieces of slag were recorded and medieval pottery was present in abundance.
