    Carnassarie Farm Archaeological Walkover Survey Dalriada Project

    CARNASSARIE FARM ARCHAEOLOGICAL WALKOVER SURVEY DALRIADA PROJECT Data Structure Report October 2007 Roderick Regan Kilmartin House Museum Argyll, PA31 8RQ Tel: 01546 510 278 [email protected] Scottish Charity SC022744 Summary The fieldwork at Carnassarie Farm has recorded over 240 sites, many of which were previously unknown. This has enhanced previous work, as well as substantially increasing our knowledge of past land-use in this northern area of Kilmartin Glen. The discovery of probable burial monuments and cup-marked rock panels adds an upland dimension to the story of prehistoric activity in Kilmartin Glen. The presence of a saddle quern and the recovery of a worked piece of quartz perhaps indicates early occupation on the slopes around Carnassarie and is intriguing since much of the archaeological record for this period has a ritual or burial focus. Aside from the Prehistoric period, this work has also highlighted the presence of fairly extensive, but dispersed settlement on the eastern slopes of Sron an Tighe Dhuibh. It is not known when this settlement was last inhabited, although it was certainly abandoned prior to the compilation of the 1 st Edition Ordnance Survey in 1873. The size and form of some of the larger rectangular structures perhaps indicates a Post Medieval date, although other structures may be earlier in origin. The survey has also shown that the head dyke to the west of the township of Carnassarie Mor, strictly delineated activities on either side. The eastern and internal area was given over to rig and furrow cultivation. To the west on Cnoc Creach little settlement or cultivation evidence was found, thus this area has been interpreted as pasture.

The popularity of our annual Highland Archaeology Festival goes on from strength to strength. We aim to celebrate our shared history, heritage and archaeology and showcase the incredible heritage on our doorsteps as well as the importance of protecting this for future generations. The educational and economic benefits that this can bring to communities cannot be overstated. New research is being carried out daily by both local groups and universities as well as in advance of construction. Highland Council is committed to letting everyone have access to the results of this work, either through our Historic Environment Record (HER) website or through our programme of events for the festival. Our keynote talks this year provide a great illustration of the significance of Highland research to the wider, national picture. These lectures, held at the council chamber in Inverness, will cover the prehistoric period, the early medieval and the industrial archaeology of more recent times.

    PS Signpost Ballymeanoch

    Ballymeanoch henge Signposts to Prehistory Location: Ballymeanoch henge (NR 833 962), barrow (NR835 963), standing stones and kerbed cairn (both NR 833 964) all lie at the southern end of the Kilmartin Valley in Argyll, Scotland. Main period: Neolithic and Bronze Age Access & ownership: All the monuments can be accessed from a car park 2.6 km south of Kilmartin, signposted ‘Dunchraigaig cairn’. A management agreement is in place between Historic Scotland and the landowner, enabling free public access. An interpretation panel can be found in the car park. This group of monuments at Ballymeanoch (Fig. 1) is part of an extensive ritual prehistoric landscape in the Kilmartin Valley. This stretches from Ormaig in the N to Achnabreck in the S, and includes various types of cairns, henges, standing stones, a stone circle, and many examples of rock art. Ballymeanoch henge is the only such monument in the west of Scotland. Built around 3000–2500 BC, it has an outer bank of 40 m diameter with an internal ditch, broken by entrance causeways at the N and S. The bank now rises to only 0.4 m; the flat-bottomed ditch is 4 m across and around 0.4 m deep. Fig. 1. Plan showing henge, standing stones, kerbed cairn and barrow. Drawn by K. Sharpe Canon Greenwell excavated the site in 1864, and found two burial cists in the centre, still visible. The largest had unusually long side slabs (up to 2.75 m) and is still covered with a massive capstone.The floor of the large cist was lined with small round pebbles but nothing was found inside.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.

  • Stonehenge in Its Wider Context

    Stonehenge in Its Wider Context

    Proceedings of the British Academy, 92, 319334 Stonehenge in its Wider Context GEORGEEOGAN Introduction DUE TO MANY FACTORS such as a growing environmental awareness, a pride in the past, or commercial potential a new philosophy has been emerging in most countries regarding the archaeological inheritance. In view of its usefulness not only for academic study but for more general purposes also, the need to maintain it is a most relevant factor. People are, therefore, becoming more aware of the importance of the archaeological inheritance but also conscious of the fact that the remains cannot reproduce themselves; they are non-renewable and finite. But what value can we put on archaeological monuments almost at the dawn of the twenty-first century and how can we measure value in this current materialistic context? The term ‘resource’ is often applied to archaeology; I see nothing wrong with that term provided that it embraces all the different strands. Stonehenge and other monuments have many values, such as in the realms of general education and curiosity, but for me the primary one is that they constitute an unerring index to the achievements of past societies and provide documents for understanding them. Stonehenge and its environment constitute a composite archaeological landscape. Therefore, dealing with such a site in its wider and comparative context is not an easy matter. This has of course been made easier4ue to the recent magistral English Heritage publication we now know much more about Stonehenge than ever before. In the evalu- ation of any site many aspects have to be considered; these range from straightforward academic and cultural issues, to the role of scientific interpretation and preservation, and also making the monuments available for study by specialists but also for visiting by the general public.
  • Scotland – Edinburgh to Loch Lomond

    Scotland – Edinburgh to Loch Lomond

    Scotland – Edinburgh to Loch Lomond Trip Summary The very best experiences of Scotland, all in one itinerary; you’ll taste the whisky, hike the corbetts and other hills, walk the moorlands, canoe a loch, and ferry out to wild islands. You’ll explore castle ruins, take tea, learn of ancient burial sites, absorb history from the Neolithic times, to those of revolutionary knights, to the Industrial Revolution. From the stunning, wild countryside, to the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh, you’ll immerse yourself in the best Scotland has to offer. Itinerary Day 1: Edinburgh Airport / Pitlochry Your guide will collect you from Edinburgh Airport (or your accommodation if you chose to arrive prior) • Transfer to the picturesque town of Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire • Visit local whisky distillery for a tour and tasting to ease you into highland life • Overnight at Craigatin House (L) Day 2: Pitlochry / Bealach na Searmoin / Killiecrankie From our Pitlochry base, we have a choice of several excellent hikes and your guide will make suggestions based on interests, ability and weather conditions. Possibilities include: Hike summit of a local Corbett (a mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet), taking us across moorland before a steep rocky ascent to the summit (on a clear day you see for miles and are able to identity several mountains in the surrounding areas) • A lower-level option includes a hike over the Bealach na Searmoin (Pass of the Sermon) to the Soldier’s Leap at Killiecrankie • This takes us over a moorland pass before descending to a river
