Preliminary Excavation Results
The remains of a circular house structure, two linear ditches, pits, a drying kiln and two metalled stone surfaces. Animal bone, some cremated bone and a blue glass bead were recovered from the site. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from one of the ditches to AD 994-1155 suggests that these features are likely to be associated with the neighbouring early ecclesiastical Cannistown Church.
