Description
A 5 m by 1.5 m trench was excavated by the University of Aberdeen across the line of the outer enclosure on the northeastern side of the hillfort. The outer enclosure is apparent on the surface as a narrow berm, with no upstanding remains from an associated bank or ditch. A possible stone wall was identified, with two possible courses of wall facing on either side, measuring approximately 1.8 m wide. Abutting and running underneath the possible inner wall facing stones was a more organic dark brown silty clay with charcoal inclusions that was sampled for radiocarbon dating. Director: UOA
