Structure in Balgatheran

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 00E0905). This structure (2.5m x 2.4m) was defined by four post-pits and it along with four others (see LH021-071----, LH021-081----, LH021-082---- and LH021-083----) appeared to have both domestic and ritual functions. A large assemblage of artefacts was recovered from the area of the five structures including 238 sherds of Grooved Ware which represented at least 23 individual pots, 30 flint scrapers, a large collection of flint débitage, a fragment of a polished stone axe and a small quantity of burnt bone.
