NC 8494 0057 As part of the Northern Picts project surveys and excavations have been undertaken in an area stretching from Aberdeenshire to Shetland targeting sites that can help contextualize the character of society in the early medieval period in northern Pictland.
A magnetometer survey was carried out, 11–18 July 2015, in the area called the Dairy Park, S of Dunrobin Castle, in an area where a Pictish square cairn and symbol stone has been found. The survey revealed an old boundary line and highly disturbed area where a corn-drying kiln was excavated by Close-Brooks. No evidence for burials or features which may be associated with the Pictish symbol stones was discovered.
