Kilmagadwood Early Bronze Age cemetery: excavation and initial post-ex by Andy B on Wednesday, 21 November 2018

Kilmagadwood Early Bronze Age cemetery: excavation and initial post-excavation research - Alison Sheridan, Derek Hall, Aida Romera, Nathan Welch, Oliver O’Grady and Rob Engl

An important Early Bronze Age cemetery comprising 23 urned deposits of cremated human remains and three un-urned deposits of pyre debris at Kilmagadwood, near Scotlandwell in Portmoak parish, Perth and Kinross (ngr NO 18057 02119; Canmore
id 320429). The excavation was carried out by Derek Hall in late 2012 and early 2013 on behalf of Imagine Land (Kilmagadwood) Ltd in advance of house construction.

The reason for publishing at this stage, when only some of the necessary post-excavation work has been completed, is that there is currently no funding on
the horizon for undertaking the rest of the work: the developer’s company went into liquidation and initially no funds were provided for any post-excavation
work. Thanks to the efforts of Sarah Malone and Sarah Winlow of Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (pkht), however, in 2015 £4,000 was secured – with the developer personally contributing £3,000 [Good for them = AB!] and the remainder granted-aided by pkht – to enable the urns’ contents to be excavated and the human remains to be subjected to osteological examination.

The excavation and the post-excavation work undertaken so far has produced a considerable amount of information on this important cemetery – one of the biggest in Scotland, exceeded in size only by that from Southfield, near Leuchars, Fife, where 48 urns were found in 1961–2 (of which 44 remain in private hands, with the site never having been published: see Canmore id 33239 for details.
