Ancient Village or Settlement in Angus. Fields near Forfar are slowly giving up some of the secrets of the past -but with this harvest comes new mysteries. Amateur archaeologists, who have unearthed some fascinating finds at Mill of Invereighty, Kinnettles, were back there this weekend as part of a major excavation of the site.
Experts believe they might have stumbled across an Iron Age roundhouse after combing the field inch-by-inch as they try to piece together the area’s history.
This latest discovery is in a field where searchers organised by Kinnettles and District Heritage Group found ring-marked stones and a Neolithic mace head.
Last month, John Sherriff, archaeologist from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland, supervised the digging of a large trench in the area where the mace head was picked up during field walking in February.
