Iron Age Site Found in Scotland
OCTOBER 30, 2020
The Scotsman reports that researchers have discovered traces of 23 structures dated to as early as 800 B.C. on heavily ploughed land in eastern Scotland, near the coast of the North Sea, ahead of a construction project.
The study is now continuing to decide whether the site has a flourishing domestic settlement or more industrial operation.
Proof has been identified of at least 23 structures on the land, which is due to be developed by Claymore Homes, with some pottery and flint tools also found.
Archaeologists at work on the site of an Iron Age settlement near Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire.
The settlement may be estimated to be from 800 BC to 400 AD with large amounts of charcoal and other organic material now undergoing testing at the archaeology department at Aberdeen University in the search for an accurate timeline.
