page 322 note 1 At Knappers, Clydebank, 7 miles from Glasgow a burial site is being explored the funerary vessels from which have not been made available for diagnosis. By mistaking mole-holes for stake-holes and joining these up in an arbitrary way the excavators have ‘reconstructed’ a labyrinthine ‘temple’ of turf banks, labelled Venus, Jupiter, etc., while a recently quarried gate post and some other stones have been interpreted as remains of a stone circle. The site has been widely published in The Times.
