Steps to ancient hillfort well in Aberdeenshire uncoveredArchaeologists have revealed the steps to an ancient hillfort's well in Aberdeenshire. The site on Mither Tap, a summit on Bennachie, a hill near Inverurie, was first recorded in the 1800s before being covered over. University of Aberdeen's Northern Picts project said its excavation meant the steps could been seen for the first time in more than 200 years. Archaeologists believe the steps could be 1,000 years old, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-48675964 |

Cobrigdale Hill (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
|
This is a beautiful cairn set in the foothills of Bennachie on Cobrigdale Hill. Sitting at 4m wide and at 0.5m high this is an almost unheard of site. I started walking from the Back Of Bennachie (near Oyne) car park, headed back north taking the first farm track west. Go past a house and go over over the gate which leads to some barns. Over the fence here and make your way up to the fence over still heading west. When this fence reaches a corner jump the fence and head north hopefully walking straight into the cairn. Although well hidden this isn't a difficult cairn to find and easily spotted amongst the trees with its moss covered rocks. Visited 1/6/2017. |
