Field Walking (7 April 2018 - 8 April 2018)
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Perth & Kinross Heritage Trust to undertake a fieldwalking project to explore the extent of the prehistoric settlement at Kilmagadwood, Scotlandwell, Perth & Kinross. The aim of the project was to involve the local community and interest groups in archaeological discovery and to inform the understanding of prehistory in the local area, especially regarding the neighbouring Bronze Age burial site at Kilmagadwood.
The fieldwalking project was revealed a total of 73 finds encompassing 80 individual fragments of chipped stone, coarse stone, cannel coal/oil shale, medieval and post-medieval ceramics, vitrified material and burnt bone.
The most significant items were a heavily re-worked fragment of a Neolithic Langdale tuff axehead, a small segment of an annular cannel coal or oil shale armlet, a hollow base Neolithic arrowhead and a broken flint knife.
