Lochview

Standing Stones

Miscellaneous

Excavations this past fortnight show that the Lochview settlement mound represents a series of Neolithic settlements probably covering 2.5 hectares. Towards its western outskirts geophysics may be showing us a chambered cairn. Geophysics also shows up a 'wall corner' (one of whose sides follows the modern road for about 10m) and apparent paving was revealed by a thin trench across it.
