Abstract

Excavations were carried out at Castle Law, Forgandenny fort between March 25th and April 13th 2013 as part of the Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot (SERF) project. Five trenches were excavated in order to explore key features that define the fort. Three trenches exposed the massive stone walls of the enclosures on the summit of hill, which had been explored previously by Bell at the end of the 19th century. A fourth trench uncovered a stone capped bank with metalworking debris and burnt bone at its core. Next to this bank the ephemeral traces of occupation within a bank of chipped stone were revealed. Within the fifth trench a bank on the S side of the hill was examined. This bank was composed of material excavated from an outer ditch with lenses of burnt twigs near the top of the bank.
