“…The use of remote sensed data to support archaeological and landscape mapping is well-established in Scotland, drawing on field observation, aerial reconnaissance, examination of archival aerial imagery and applications of lidar data (Cowley, 2016;Cowley et al, 2020;Dunbar, 1992;Geddes, 2014;RCAHMS, 1994RCAHMS, , 1997RCAHMS, , 2009. However, the use of satellite data for the detection of archaeological monuments and the mapping of landscapes is nascent.…”

This paper assesses the value of high temporal frequency satellite data with various spatial sampling resolutions for multi‐scalar historic environment survey and management use cases in Scotland, specifically for broad‐brush landscape characterisation, for monitoring the condition of monuments and for the discovery of otherwise unknown sites. Dealing with a part of the world where applications of satellite imagery are almost entirely unexplored, this study takes a real‐world approach, which foregrounds the purpose at hand rather than presenting a case study from an optimal setting. The study highlights the importance of detailed imagery to support interpretation in some instances, and the challenges of obtaining time‐critical optical imagery in a part of the world that experiences significant periods of cloud cover. The real‐world availability of data in such settings is assessed, highlighting that even with daily revisits, useable imagery cannot be guaranteed. The implications of current and past tasking patterns for availability of high‐resolution data now and in the future are discussed. The study identifies the complementary roles that satellite imagery can fulfil, while identifying the limitations that remain to fuller applications of such data, in a study that will be relevant to many parts of Europe and beyond.

“…An entrance causeway c4.5m wide crosses the ditch in the centre of this sector, matching gaps in the inner and outer lines. Following the description drawn up for the RCAHMS Marginal Lands Survey in 1956 (Geddes 2013), the Ordnance Survey in 1961 suggested that the Durn Hill was an unfinished fort, comprising marker trenches and an unfinished ditch and rampart. This interpretation was confirmed by Feachem (1971: 27-28), but more recent scholarship has suggested these features are in fact the remains of palisades (eg RCAHMS 1997: 140-…”

This article presents the results of a programme of investigation into the enclosed settlements/forts and promontory forts of north-east Scotland, undertaken as part of the Northern Picts project. Reconnaissance excavations are reported on for nine sites: Crathie Point and Durn Hill, northern Aberdeenshire (Banffshire); Barmkyn of North Keig, Hill of Keir, Hill of Christ’s Kirk and Cnoc Cailliche (Wheedlemont), central Aberdeenshire; and Doune of Relugas, Knock of Alves and Wester Tulloch, Moray. Targeted excavation was undertaken at all examples and in the majority of cases produced a basic chronology for key phases of occupation/enclosure at the sites in question. Thirty-two new radiocarbon dates are presented, with a number of sites producing Iron Age dates, but a smaller number also revealing early medieval phases of occupation and use.
