- Abstract
An archaeological excavation of a prehistoric roundhouse was carried out at Mullans Wood, Kilcoy, Inverness-shire by AOC Archaeology in March 2018 in advance of woodland replanting. Approximately one half of the roundhouse was investigated, revealing that the structure comprised a rubble bank supported by large boulders with evidence for an internal ring of post-holes. A small perforated stone disc was recovered from interior deposits along with a very limited charcoal/macroplant assemblage. A sample submitted for radiocarbon dating produced a date that suggested occupation of the site between the 8th and 5th centuries cal BC.
