An ancient hillfort in Aberdeenshire is the biggest ever found in Scotland – and is believed to have been home to the Picts
May 20, 2020 - 09:16 BST Carla Challis An ancient hillfort in Aberdeenshire has been discovered by archaeologists – and is the biggest settlement of its kind ever unearthed in Scotland! The researchers, from the University of Aberdeen, uncovered evidence that up to 4,000 native Scots would have lived in more than 800 huts perched on the Top O'Noth hill near the village of Rhynie.
Professor Gordon Noble, who led the research, described the discovery as the 'most surprising of his career' – as the hillfort had been assumed to date from the Bronze or Iron Age."I was absolutely stunned when I read the results," he said.
