Abstract

As part of the Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot (SERF) project a geophysical survey was conducted on Ogle Hill. The survey was undertaken between the 4th and 6th March 2015. The main aims of the survey were to define the character of the hill fort and to record any unknown features. Both gradiometric and earth resistance techniques were employed. The results of the geophysical survey revealed a large igneous dyke cutting across the S side of the hill. Outside of this area, in the E and W, traces of the outer ramparts were detected. Possible evidence for the outer face of the inner enclosure was recorded on the summit. A putative circular kiln was detected in the NW end of the survey are on a terraced area within the second rampart.
