Full Description
Remains of a depopulated settlement consisting of rectangular footings of houses and other structures, as well as field banks and areas of rigs below a head-dyke. The settlement was probably cleared circa AD1776. See also NO09SW0006, NO09SE0005, NO09SE0004, NO09SE0003, and NO09SE0002 for individual townships. These are the settlements depicted on the Roy Military Survey map (1744-55) named Knockinted, Dalgirmich, Achaundie, Aldvattigally and Rintion. Studies into the palaeoecology of Mar Lodge Estate included sampling of peat next to this site, carried out in 2002. This established a Mesolithic date for the basal 5cm of organic sediment of 8206 BC - 7524 BC. Pollen analysis also carried out.
Period Notes
C14 date: 8670+/- 130 BP (which equals 8206 BC - 7524 BC at 2 sigma)(GU-10792). This sample comes from the base layer of 5cm of peat deposit next to the depopulated settlement. See also the Ecofact Entry under the Site Details tab.
