![]() ![]() ![]() While Stewart ( 1969) and Taylor ( 1990) suggested the sites as an early medieval phenomenon, excavations at Aldclune confirm construction of one between the 1st and 2 nd centuries BC and the other between the 2 nd and 3 rd centuries AD, with two phases of occupation at each site (Hingley et al 1998). Six have been excavated: Borenich (MPK1248 Watson 1915), Litigan (MPK413 Taylor 1990) and Queen’s View (MPK1212 Taylor 1990), two at Aldclune (MPK3 Hingley et al 1998), and the Black Spout, Pitlochry (MPK1607 Strachan 2013). They include some architectural features found on brochs, such as raised floors, and intramural cells and stairs. In the northern periphery of the ‘lowland group’ for brochs (MacInnes 1985 Romankiewicz 2011), the uplands west of the River Tay contain a notable concentration of massive, stone-walled monumental roundhouses of around 12–18m internal diameter, with a variety of options for internal construction.
