Main Details

Primary Reference	NO09SE0001
Name	GLEN LUI
NRHE Card No.	NO09SW5
NRHE Numlink	81274
HES SM No.	7696
HES LB No.	NULL
Site Form	Standing Structure
Site Condition	Incomplete
Details	Remains of a depopulated settlement consisting of rectangular footings of houses and other structures, as well as field banks and areas of rigs below a head-dyke. The settlement was probably cleared circa AD1776. See also NO09SW0006, NO09SE0005, NO09SE0004, NO09SE0003, and NO09SE0002 for individual townships. These are the settlements depicted on the Roy Military Survey map (1744-55) named Knockinted, Dalgirmich, Achaundie, Aldvattigally and Rintion. Studies into the palaeoecology of Mar Lodge Estate included sampling of peat next to this site, carried out in 2002. This established a Mesolithic date for the basal 5cm of organic sediment of 8206 BC - 7524 BC. Pollen analysis also carried out.

Artefact and Ecofact

Ecofact

Samples	Sampling carried out in November 2002. Analysis in 2003 showed that there was evidence from inwashed sands for significant soil erosion at around 3300 BC, lasting several centuries. The cause of the erosion is not know.
Palynology	Sampling carried out in November 2002. Analysis in 2003 indicated that Scot's Pine is the primary woodland of this area. Scot's Pine has been shown to be the dominant tree in this area from 7500 BC to 1500 BC, with almost no other tree taxa growing on the valley floor. Decline of the Pine population begins circa 2500 BC.
