Description
An excavation in 2008-9 by Headland Archaeology took place at Bellfield, North Kessock, to investigate and record a group of features revealed during evaluation of the site in May 2008 (see EHG2843). The location of a circular cropmark was also excavated which had not previously been evaluated due to the presence of overhead power lines. The group of features in the western part of the site were established as Neolithic while the circular cropmark was found to overlie a substantial roundhouse and associated features of Iron Age date. <1>
