Viggen Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 A remote Iron Age fort built by the Picts as a look out post on top of a 20-foot-high sea stack has been uncovered on the coast of Scotland. Archaeologists believe the stronghold, which would have been cut off from the land at high tide, may have been one of a number that lined the east coast of Scotland. The fort, which was found on top of the Dunnicaer sea stack close to Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, appears to have been built with stone imported from elsewhere in the country. via Daily Mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Interesting. You don't hear much about the picts and even though they were technically iron age, it's unsual to discover they actually built anything, which is probably unfair but then maybe it's time they got a little more publicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
