Activities

Magnetic Susceptibility (1998)

NT 0989 4872 Magnetic susceptibility and gradiometer surveys were conducted over a concentration of Mesolithic worked chert. The instruments detected areas of burning beneath the soil associated with the scatters, which were confirmed by trial trenching, during which concentrations of charcoal were located.

Sponsors: Historic Scotland; University of Glasgow, Dept of Archaeology.
