Abstract

An archaeological excavation at Gartness Road Drymen, undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd in 2020, revealed the remains of an early Iron Age roundhouse and a small collection of pits. The remains exhibited a high level of truncation, which obscured the potentially complex nature of the structure. The site was located on the south-eastern edge of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, an area which sits on the traditional highland to lowland boundary. This unique location and early date for the structure provided an opportunity to explore construction styles, potentially contemporary activity and its relationship to surrounding structures.
