A Bee's Eye View of Beecraigs
As was reported yesterday, ongoing work at Beecraigs Country Park has identified evidence for significant prehistoric activity. The photographs on this page were taken by members of the West Lothian Archaeology Group during a visit to the site. The image above shows the shallow remains of substantial post-holes in the foreground, with the ring ditch in the top left-hand corner, while that below shows the circular enclosure in more detail. The black staining visible in this picture is shale rather than charcoal associated with a hearth. More photographs of the site are available on this page of the West Lothian Archaeology Group website, while further information on the techniques and equipment employed to create low-level aerial photographs of this type can be found here.
