Prehistoric Forteviot: Excavations of a Ceremonial Complex in Eastern Scotland (Serf Vol 1)
Kenneth Brophy
Gordon Noble
A detailed report on the excavation of prehistoric features at Forteviot in eastern Scotland by the University of Glasgow’s Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot (SERF) Project. Details include an extensive prehistoric landscape including a Neolithic cremation cemetery, large pit-defined enclosure, early Bronze Age henge monuments, and a Bronze Age dagger-cist burial. The monuments appear to have survived into the early historic period and were modified in the first millennium AD.
