Summary
Coll
Geophysical survey
Darko Maričević – University of Reading
NM 21287 55118 (Fiskary Bay) and NM 13517 53087
(Crossapol) Two hut circles, one possible at Fiskary and one
certain at Crossapol were surveyed, 14–16 August 2010, with
electrical resistance and gradiometry respectively as part of
ongoing research into prehistoric settlement on Coll. Detailed
topographical survey and the results of the resistivity survey
confirmed the artificial nature of the structure at Fiskary and
suggested that the turf walls might have been constructed
around a hollow in the bedrock, which then filled with peat.
Gradiometry results did not provide any significant additional
information.
