Full Description
In September 2009, an archaeological watching brief was carried out at Tullo Wind Farm by CFA. A cluster of five pits was uncovered during soil stripping at the location of one of the turbines. The pits were situated on a natural south facing terrace circa 400 m to the south of the Cairn-o-Shiels (Scheduled Monument No. 5315). A subsequent excavation carried out as part of the same programme of works recovered sherds of prehistoric pottery from one pit and a small quartz scraper from another. The pottery is understood to date to the Neolithic period.
