Cullykhan - A Coastal Promontory in NE Scotland

The promontory fort of Cullykhan was excavated between 1963 and 1972. This revealed evidence of a sequence of use of the promontory, with at least five prehistoric phases evident. These included a palisaded enclosure, timber gateway, metal working area, vitrified rampart and a possible Pictish phase. Continued use of the promontory extended into the medieval period and later, the results of which caused significant damage to some of the earlier features. This paper gives a brief overview of the prehistoric site of Cullykhan, as well as a very brief look at some other hillforts in NE Scotland, and raises some of the problems encountered while working on the publication of a site excavated in the 1960’s.
