Abstract

An archaeological excavation was undertaken in 2020 to assess the condition and impact of accidental tree planting on two poorly recorded unenclosed platforms on the hills south of Cardrona, Scottish Borders. The work recorded two round-houses in the centre of the platforms, and excavation focused on Platform 2, revealing evidence of multi-phased occupation. An artefact assemblage of coarse stone tools, stone objects and pottery sherds was recovered. Radiocarbon dating and artefactual evidence suggest a Middle Bronze Age date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
