February 2002. Excavation.
In response to a request by E. Rose (NLA), who had observed animal bone in the side of a test pit excavated below the present floor of the western room of Knotty Kott, this test pit was enlarged and the bone was excavated under archaeological conditions. The bone consisted of a non-articulated cattle mandible, which lay within a deposit of probable occupation material which contained further animal bone and three sherds of 15th-16th century Late medieval Transitional Ware pottery.
See report (S3) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S4).
