The strange case of a forged stone.

Two other sites are just along the road.

Another fort surrounded by more forts.

‘The punched/engraved Spirals of Herakleia Island’, an article by Christos Kanakis.

Details of Mesolithic occupation and from later periods.

Some scanning stuff from the Historic People.

The St Kilda Survey Project.

Very good and informative this. Also about various prehistory and a nice photo of the souterrain.

Handy enough site this and some prehistoric places as well including Clune Wood.

The only thing this doesn’t mention is the wonderful countryside!

It is a very nice site as well!

The chamber is still there but the cairn is somewhat missing. They also looked at it on a good day.

And some of the houking was recent!

Yet another candidate for the lets use the ancient site as a golf course obstacle prize.

Beware this isn’t a very easy place to find.

Good stuff from Canmore.

Site details.

More details of the wind swept place.

We found the cup marks.

Obviously the farm machinery etc wasn’t there when this report was made.

Not much but some details about the ‘four poster’.

Site details. Funny why Canmore spell this places name differently to everybody else including the locals.

A pic of the reconstruction of Strichen roundhouse.

Site details and a mention of agriculture. Nice aerial pic.

Then there were 3, Canmore’s two plus drew’s one.

All details of the stone put rather eloquently than I could.

I found three out of the four hut circles. Winter time visit for the last one.

How the caves were used in Iron Age times.

Sean MacGowan, who stays on Maggie Redhead hill, will help me look for hut circles, possible cairns and hopefully rock art. There are rocks everywhere and Knock Hill is bang in front.

Well, well, well, Canmore make a mistake. Is this possible....................the mound actually overlooks the River Don.

Some place, some history, brilliant.

I took a more circular route and didn’t see the alternate path on the way down. Oh, I wished that I did!

This souterrain must also have been some place if the finds are anything to go by.

All the details from the before and after the house exstension. Pity, this must have been some place in it’s day.

All the details and some of the history of this very ancient feeling place.

Details of the ring cairn, cist and capstone.

Thanks to Ian Suddaby for this information. One of the co-leaders of this research. Brilliant stuff.

A full description and some magnificent aerial pics.

Speaking to one of my clients, from Edzell, about a trumpet when the conversation changed to this. Crikey!, he’s right. Some good aerial foties as well. A visit needed on the way down to the football.

Also called Dilly Hill, kind of strange as it is on the opposite side of valley. A lot of stuff going on here so another job for the boots.

Another site for Moray and another hill to climb. Great name as well.

All the clever bits plus a couple more pics.

This must of been some place in its day. Here are Canmore’s discoveries. Another place to go find!

The detailed account of the excavation by Professor Alexander Low during 1935. There are pictures of the cist, urn and various other finds.

The archaeological notes of the Cromar group. Evidently there had been a lot going on here.

Details of what and what could not be seen. Volunteers cleaned the area last year but the ferns have re-invaded.

What is inside the souterrain, cause I was to scared to crawl in.

All the things I can’t explain. (I know that is a Who song!!)

Fantastic details about the work carried out at this site. No warnings about hidden dangers tho!
