NO 3122 3058 (NO33SW 19) In October 2017 Archaeology Scotland’s Adopt-a-Monument scheme supported the Abertay Historical Society Fieldwork Division to produce a topographical survey of Market Knowe Cairn. The group were keen to see if a topographical survey could help provide further information on the nature of the cairn, the typology of which is disputed locally. Adopt-a-Monument delivered a two-day training workshop on site survey and a topographical survey of the monument was produced using a dumpy level. The survey did not produce any further information on the typology of the monument and the group is exploring funding opportunities to support a geophysical survey.
