Excavations at the prehistoric cemetery at Rullion Green, Trevor Watkins*

Close to the site of the battle of Rullion Green lies a close-knit group of about 12 circles in the turf.

The site lies on almost level turf at an altitude of about 325 m (1025') in the NE-facing foothills of the above Penicuik. The small circles are tightly packed into the corner of a field of unimproved pasture. Each consists of a slight turfy bank; many show signs of an external ditch; and some exhibit slight traces of a second bank beyond the ditch. The average external diameter of the circles across the inner bank is about 6 m. Two adjacent circles, labelled sketch-plae th n o F d n an accompanyin C record-cardS O e gth , were completely excavated. o circletw e s shareTh d various common features. Each centre a toke n o dn cremation deposit, set in the middle of a level, disc-shaped platform made of subsoil. Around each platform a shallow ditch had been dug. In both circles there was no sign of the upcast from the ditch, and the ditch had been at once filled in with stones and subsoil slightly different from that in the immediate vicinity.

The next datable period is that of early Iron Age activity about 500-600 BC, when the chambered tomb and its clay mound were dramatically altered and partially removed for the insertio a round-hous f o n e wit n earth-housea h , whic s probablwa h y a cellaruse e s a d Th . entrance passage of the Neolithic tomb was utilized as a drain from the round-house, with an outlet coursin southwary wa s git d acros enclosee sth d are exio at t int defencese oth . Alteratiof no the mound was linked to major rebuilding of the defences with a massive stone-faced clay rampart and large external ditch. The south well was presumably demolished, if not already abandoned, at this time.

Internal staircases with landings were also constructed within the thickness of the walls to the E and W. Slight alteration to the defences may have also occurred.

Some time in the late 1st century AD a broch was built on the site of the round-house. Its close relationship with the earlier structure suggests that some remains of the round-house were visible when the construction of the broch commenced. It was 8-2 m in diameter and its inner wall partly overlay the round-house posts.

One of the most interesting and entertaining 17th-century documents surviving in Scotland today must surely be the so-called Glamis Book of Record, written in the years between 1684 and 1689 and in part an autobiographical account of the building and other works of Patrick, 1st earl of Strathmore in the last quarter of that century. This account, in conjunction with other documents perioe oth f d preserve chartee th n di r roo t mGlamisa , provide vivisa s d hi pictur eare d th an lf eo activities which can be closely related to the castle as it stands today.

ANNUAL REPORT The Secretary and Treasurer read the following Annual Report: It is paradoxical that much of this report chronicles the satisfactory completion of another routine e Societyth e liff th o yeae n ,i r which continues internall a stat n f well-beingi yo e , whil e finath e l paragraphs carry notice of a momentous and sad event which threatens to alter the basis of the Society's relationship with the National Museum of Antiquities. Membership Our Society is its Fellows, and the Society can only be as strong as its membership. It is therefore gratifying to report that once again there is a net increase in the number of Fellows on the Roll. New Fellows joining durin yeae gth r 1983-84 numbered 149, while deaths, resignation lapsed san s accounted for 72, a net increase of 77. The roll now stands at 2257, including 20 Honorary Fellows. e takW e pleasur n havini e g recently electe o Honorart d y Fellowshi CantG R , r formeD p r President of the Society and distinguished historian, Professor P-R Giot, the tireless French prehistoric archaeologis dons archaeologe ha muco th es o r hfo wh t f Britannyyo , Professor George Jobey, whose recent serie f Rhinso d Lectures well illustrate monumentas dhi l fieldwork contributio stude th f o yo nt early settlement between Tyn r MargareForthd D ean d an , t Stewart, whose lifetime'r fo sd woran n ko the archaeological heritage, historic and prehistoric, of Perth, Perthshire and East Scotland in general has made her name synonymous with archaeology throughout that part of Scotland.

The Society and the future of the National Museum It has been reported in the past that Council often spends a good deal of its time considering matters at the invitation of other bodies who seek the views or advice of the Society. Some time ago Council offered its views to the Williams Committee on the paramount need to make proper provision for the National Museum. When the Williams Committee reported to the Secretary of State for Scotland, once again Council adde s voicit d o support e e maith t n recommendatio e reportth f o n , namely that the most pressing need among the national museums and galleries of Scotland was the long overdue provisio f propeno r facilitie housine th r curatind fo s g an nationae th f go l collectio f Scottisno h antiquities. The future of the National Museum has been an item on the agenda of almost every meeting of Council for the last year. Council noted with alarm the publication of Government plans to put the Royal Scottish Museum and the National Museum under a single Board of Trustees and a single Director; and the opportunity was sought yet again to make the point that a proper national museum for Scotland's cultur d heritag f pressino an e s wa e g importance e pos f DirectoTh o . t e Royath f o rl Scottish Museum was advertised and filled on the explicit assumption that the appointee would become the Director of both museums or their unitary successor. In due course the President and Secretary were invited to meet the Chairman of the Museums Advisory Board, set up by the Secretary of State to work out plans for the implementation of Government polic relation yi e Roya th o t nl Scottish Museue Nationath d man l Museum t beforBu . e that meeting took place, and shortly before the Queen's Speech at the opening of the new session of Parliament, an official at the Scottish Education Department wrote to our Assistant Secretary to inform her that the Secretary of State for Scotland had come to an important decision regarding the compositio Boarw ne f Trusteede o join e th th f nr o t museumssfo e Queen'Th . s knowe Speecb t i t nhle thacallee b bila tNationae o t ldth l Heritage (Scotland) Bill woul introducede db . e ScottisTh h Education Department letter reported thaNationae th t l Heritage (Scotland) Bill would provid replacemene th r efo presene th f o t t Boar Trusteef do Nationae th f so l Museu newa y mb , smaller Board of Trustees for the joint museums. We were also informed that the new Board would | SOCIET 6 61 Y OF ANTIQUARIES OF SCOTLAND, 1984

consist entirely of Government appointees. The reasons for this extraordinary decision, which threatens to sever unilaterally the links between the Society and the National Museum and its collections, were offered in the same letter: 'In view of the extremely diverse range of interests which Boarw ne f Trusteedo e th s wil difficultiee l th cove d an r s which woul e likelb d ariso yt decidinn ei g between the numerous organizations which might be invited to submit nominations to the Board, Ministers hav n balanco e e decided against providing specific right f nominatioo s body an r o y o t n organization'. Since the new Board is intended to replace the existing Board in the autumn of 1985, unless the Secretar persuadee Statf b y o n eca chango dt Government' e mins th e hi r do s proposed legislation fails, by the next Anniversary Meeting this Society will have ceased to enjoy any formal link with the Scottish national collections which this Societ yr whics care begafo ha differenn d t dhi i nan t wayr sfo more than 200 years. Council has of course asked the Secretary to remonstrate with the Scottish Education Department and the Scottish Office in an attempt to have this decision reconsidered; and it decides ha d tha Societe th t ensuro t y n shoulthal ca e al t i thatScottis o e dd th t h national collectionse th , Society's former library and the National Museum's staff remain a recognizable, working entity, and that they are not dissolved and submerged in a clumsy but administratively convenient monolith. The President said that he would like to add something to what the Secretary said in his Annual Report. The National Heritage (Scotland) Bill has already passed its second Reading. Other interests than this Society will have a part in fashioning the new Museum. It remains fundamental for the Societ ensuro yt e thar pasou tt contributio fundinn ni nurturind an g e Museum r presength ou d tan , contributio lecturef no researcd san h Proceedings,e grantth d san with their close connection wite hth Museum's activities, and our contribution to the Library, that all these are recognized, and that we can continu havr o lectur et r office ou eou d e an s physicae rooth s ma l evidenc r continuinou f eo g link with whateve Museuw r ne for e mth takes. Several Fellows spoke in support of the President's comments and after discussion it was agreed museuw ne that wele e mplans ar th a , l r advancedsfo Fellowshie th , p shoul circularizee db d promptly with the relevant part of the Annual Report which Fellows would be urged to use in writing to their MPs. The Secretary said that a statement would be made to the press early in the following week. Dr R B K Stevenson asked Council to consider increasing the annual subscription next year to allow more mone e spenb n researco o yt t particularld an h helpinn o y e Museuth g m maintaie th n quality of the library by continuing purchase of foreign books. The Secretary pointed out that the future of the library is uncertain. Fellows expressed satisfaction at the growth of the North-East Section, and appreciation of the Regional Fund providing the Buchan Lectures.

The retiring President paid tribute to the retiring Councillors, he thanked the staff for their support for the last three years, and he thanked the Society for the honour they had done him. He introduced the new President and bestowed on him the presidential medal. Professor Alcock thanked the Fellows for electing him President which he felt to be a great honour. He thanked Mr Maxwell for his work for the Society especially in leading the fight to preserve many of the privileges which seem due to the Society for all it has done for the study of archaeology and , and he endorsed the view that Fellows should write to their MPs and to the Secretar f Stateyo .
