Editing Souterrain (section)

=== Brechin ===
An example of a wood-lined Iron Age souterrain with a possible water tank was excavated in 2016 at Brechin Farm, [[Angus, Scotland|Angus]] by [[Headland Archaeology]]. It was {{convert|15|m|ft|round=5|abbr=off}} in total length and was constructed in a 'C' shape with two distinct chambers. A linear ditch was located immediately adjacent to the souterrain and was connected to the southwest chamber by a tunnel. This tunnel sloped gently downwards towards the chamber and its edges were iron-panned, indicating that water had run through it for a significant amount of time. This indicates the southwest chamber was used as some kind of water collection and storage system. The soil into which the souterrain was dug was soft sand that would have been impossible to maintain without a lining; the presence of stake holes along the edge of the northeast chamber and the lack of stones means that the walls would have been wood-lined. Radiocarbon dating suggests occupation between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Ginnever|first1=Matthew|title=An Iron Age settlement and souterrain at Dubton Farm East, Brechin, Angus|journal=Tayside and Fife Archaeological Journal|date=2017|volume=23|page=1-12|url=http://www.tafac.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/p1-12-Ginnever.pdf}}</ref>
