Archaeology Notes

NR89NW 124 8328 9668

Site recorded in January 1998 during a programme of geophysical surveying and archaeological monitoring conducted during the construction of new public access pathways and a new visitor car park within the Kilmartin Glen.

NR 8328 9668 Dunchraigaig. Excavation of an earthfast stone revealed it to be a slab of local schist measuring 1.15 x 0.9m by up to 0.2m thick. It is decorated on one side with seven cup marks and two possible axehead carvings. It was revealed to be lying against the inside edge of a filled-in ditch and was probably the cover from a cist.
