Prior to the extraction of gravel at Haughhead Farm, Garvald Quarry, Dolphinton, South Lanarkshire, AOC Archaeology excavated an extensive series of complex but shallow negative features, as well as unstratified finds ranging in date from the Mesolithic to the Early Historic period.

A rescue excavation in a machair blow-out at Sanaigmhor Warren, Islay, recovered two urned cremations, one under a cairn comprised mainly of white quartz, and the other in a cist, associated with an orthostat. The cremations were radiocarbon dated to the IA. The paper sets these finds in their local and regional context, and briefly discusses burial practices in the period concerned. The Sanaigmhor Warren area is discussed in terms of its future archaeological potential.
