Summary
DUN MOR VAUL Euan W MacKie
NM 042492. Two more C-14 dates, making a total of eight (Discovery and Excavation 1967, p. 15), were obtained for this broch site. GaK 1521 came from a charcoal sample from the end of Phase 4B (post-broch) and was 2240 ± 80 years old or 290 ± 80 B.C.: the sample must be too old. GaK 1520 was from a large jaw bone associated with the Norse comb : it had an age of 1460 ± 200 years or A.D. 490 ± 200. For various reasons this can be regarded as a maximum age.
