Dig unearths Pictish longhouse


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Archaeologists have uncovered important new details of a Pictish settlement at Burghead Fort.

Evidence of a longhouse has been found at the site, near Lossiemouth in Moray, along with a coin which is 1,100 years old.

The University of Aberdeen archaeologists had feared 19th-Century development would have destroyed remains.

They now hope the site will reveal more significant findings.

It is thought the Burghead Fort was a significant seat of power within the Pictish kingdom, between AD500 and AD1000.
