Full Description
Two round-houses, recorded during a topographical survey of Craig Dorney by the University of Aberdeen in 2023 (NJ43NW0016). A figure-of-eight layout of two round-houses. The northeastern one is the larger of the conjoined structures, measuring 13.1 m in diameter and defined on its eastern side by a 1.8 m wide wall that survives to a height of 0.1 m. Attached on the southwestern side is another round-house measuring 11.8 m in diameter, with a defining wall measuring 2.5 m wide and up to 0.18 m high. A notable break at the southern perimeter of its wall, measuring 1.7 m wide, likely represents an original entrance to the structure.
