Great talk by Joe Fitzpatrick and @northernpicts.bsky.social on recent excavations at East Lomond hillfort in Fife. With carbon dates running from the 3rd century to the 7th, and loads of cool artefacts including a Pictish spearhead and spear-butt as depicted on warrior stones like nearby Collessie.

Great demonstration why we have a PhD advertised on coastal erosion at coastal forts. Pic left shows erosion scar on grass where a huge section of cultural deposits beneath are beginning to slump into sea. Pic Right shows more erosion @drtobydriver.bsky.social @diggermann.bsky.social

Aberlemno 2 in Angus has a Celtic cross on one side and a battle scene on the other, said to depict the Pictish victory at Nechtansmere (AD 685). The helmeted Northumbrians are shown defeated and scavenged on by ravens. 📷 My own. #StandingStoneSunday canmore.org.uk/site/34806
