Iron Age Woman Unearthed in a Suspiciously Well-Crafted Grave
Archaeologists have recently discovered the remains of a woman believed to date to the Iron Age inside an unusual stone-lined structure. The site was found near a quarry in Sutherland in northern Scotland. The structure and surrounding features are provisionally considered Iron Age, while the feature may be about 2,000 years old; direct dating and further analysis are still pending. Given the considerable effort that went into constructing the structure in which she was eventually buried, researchers are questioning who she was, what role she held within her community, and why her remains were deposited there.
A Remarkably Well-Built Iron Age Burial
Highland Archaeological Services Ltd (HAS) made the find while carrying out work on behalf of local quarry firm GF Job ahead of a planned expansion of its Evelix quarry near Dornoch. HAS reports that further analysis is still needed and will take several more months to learn as much as possible about this Iron Age woman and the “pit” she was buried in.
The site was discovered at the possible site of Iron Age roundhouses, given the remaining evidence of holes in the ground that could have held timber posts used in the houses’ construction. In 2023, archaeologists investigated the nearby Camore Wood prehistoric settlement, where at least 20 hut circles have been identified. Radiocarbon dating from one excavated roundhouse revealed occupation during both the Middle Bronze Age and Middle Iron Age. The archaeologists were impressed with the expertise of the pit’s builders. It was dug into the sand and measured about 10ft (3m) long, 6.5ft (2m) wide, and 3ft (1m) deep, with a small stone staircase descending into the structure.
