Dwarfie Stane

The Dwarfie Stane is a megalithic chambered tomb carved out of a titanic block of Devonian Old Red Sandstone located in a steep-sided glaciated valley between the settlements of Quoys and Rackwick on Hoy, an island in Orkney, Scotland. The stone is a glacial erratic located in desolate peatland. The site is managed by Historic Environment Scotland. Description The attribution as a tomb was originally based on its resemblance to recognized tombs in southern Europe. The Dwarfie Stane is the only chambered tomb in Orkney that is cut from stone rather than built from stones and may be the only example of a Neolithic rock-cut tomb in Britain. However, despite its unique construction, its plan is consistent with the so-called Orkney-Cromarty class of chambered tomb found throughout Orkney. Some authors have referred to this type of tomb as Bookan-class, after a chambered cairn in Mainland, although there is some disagreement as to the relationship between the two tomb types. A stone slab originally blocked the entrance to the tomb on its west side, but now lies on the ground in front of it. It is unique in northern Europe, bearing similarity to Neolithic or Bronze Age tombs around the Mediterranean. R. Castleden refers to the Dwarfie Stane as representing "the imported idea of the rock-cut tomb" that was "tried once and found to be unsatisfactory", perhaps due to the hardness, as it has been described as being built from "extremely compact" Old Red Sandstone by folklorist Hugh Miller who was also a stonemason by trade. There is no direct evidence, however, of any link to the builders of the Mediterranean rock-cut tombs. The stone is 8.6 metres (28 ft) long, by 4 metres (13 ft) wide and up to 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) high. The entrance is a 1 metre (3.3 ft) square cut out of the west side of the rock. Inside the tomb is a passage 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) long and two side cells measuring 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) by 1 metre (3.3 ft). Both the passage and the side cells are 1 metre (3.3 ft) high. Right, southern cell has a "pillow" of uncut rock at its inner end. History The tomb has been plundered by making an opening through the roof of the chamber. The time of this event is not known, but the hole in the roof had been noted by the 16th century. The hole was repaired with concrete in the 1950s or 1960s. The name is derived from local legend that a dwarf named Trollid lived there, although, ironically, the tomb has also been claimed as the work of giants. Its existence was popularised in Walter Scott's novel The Pirate published in 1821. There is a variety of 18th- and 19th-century graffiti on the rock-cut tomb. One is an inscription in Persian calligraphy that states "I have sat two nights and so learnt patience" left by Captain William Mounsey, who camped here in 1850. Above the Persian is Mounsey's name written backwards in Latin.

Dwarfie Stane

Dwarfie Stone è un monumento preistorico situato nei pressi del villaggio scozzese di Rackwick, nell'isola di Hoy, nell'arcipelago delle isole Orcadi, e risalente a un periodo compreso tra il 3500 e il 2500 a.C. ca. È celebre per essere l'unica tomba preistorica scavata nella roccia di tutto il Regno Unito di cui si abbia conoscenza. Storia La tomba non è stata mai oggetto di scavi archeologici ufficiali, ma annovera numerosi visitatori celebri. All'interno della tomba, non è mai stato rinvenuto alcun manufatto di epoca preistorica. Fino al XVI secolo, l'ingresso della tomba era bloccato da una lastra in arenaria, in seguito rimossa. Dwarfie Stane venne visitata, tra l'altro, dal celebre poeta Walter Scott, che definì il sito una "gemma magnifica". In seguito, nel 1846, il geologo Hugh Miller, incise nella tomba le proprie iniziali e nel 1850, un esploratore, il maggiore William Monsey, militare dell'Impero britannico di stanza in Persia, incise nella facciata esterna della tomba una scritta in persiano che significa "Mi sono fermato per due notti e ho trovato la pace". Descrizione La tomba è in arenaria rossa antica e misura circa 8 metri in lunghezza. Nella facciata principale, vi si trova una stretta porta che conduce alla camera interna. Leggende A Dwarfie Stane sono state associate varie leggende. Secondo una di queste, Dwarfie Stane era la dimora di un gigante e della moglie incinta, che vennero in seguito murati al suo interno da un altro gigante, invidioso delle felicità della coppia, che bloccò l'entrate con una pesante lastra di pietra. Inoltre, Sir Walter Scott, nel suo racconto, The Pirate, indica Dwarfie Stone come la residenza di un nano di nome Trolld, citato nelle saghe nordiche. Un'altra leggenda legata a Dwarfie Stane è quella di Mansie Rich, tramandata da uno scrittore delle Orcadi, Tom Muir nel racconto The Trowies of Trowie Glen.

Dùn Mòr (Tiree)

Die Ausgrabung des Semi-Brochs Dùn Mòr bei Vaul, 300 m von der Küste an der schmalsten Stelle der Insel Tiree in Argyll and Bute, erfolgte von 1962 bis 1964 durch Euan Wallace MacKie (1936–2020). Damit begann die Phase moderner Forschung an den Brochs auf der atlantischen Seite Schottlands. Der Broch liegt auf einer Felskuppe und hat einen inneren Durchmesser von 9,2 m. Die bis in eine Höhe von etwas über zwei Metern erhaltenen Mauern sind etwa 4,5 m dick. Der Eingang liegt auf der südöstlichen Seite. Er hat eine runde Wächterzelle (englisch guard-cell) und ein langes Balken- oder Riegelloch für die Sicherung der nicht mehr vorhandenen Tür. Die im Inneren der Mauer auf einem Sektor von etwa 300° umlaufende Galerie ist gut erhalten. Der Hauptzugang zur Galerie sowie die Treppe, die den Zugang zu den höheren Ebenen ermöglichte, liegen im Norden. Die Vorstellung zur Bauausführung im abgetragenen oberen Bereich beruht auf Vermutungen. Die Existenz eines Daches wäre logisch, aber ob es eines gab und in welcher Höhe und in welcher Technik ist unbekannt. Der zentrale Herd im Bodenbereich impliziert eine Öffnung in der Dachstruktur. Die Ausgrabung zeigte, dass der Bau in der Mitte des ersten Jahrhunderts v. Chr. entstand und im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. aufgegeben wurde. In einer zweiten Periode wurde er bis in die Wikingerzeit genutzt. Er wird von einer äußeren Mauer gesichert, die nahe der Hügelkante liegt. Möglicherweise gehört diese zu einer früheren Befestigung. Die Funde bestehen aus Tonwaren, Drehmühlen, Werkzeugen, Knochenwürfeln sowie Bronzeobjekten. Sowohl die Wollweberei als auch die Metallverarbeitung waren zu belegen.

Dun Mor Vaul

Dun Mor Vaul (or simply Dun Mor; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Mòr) is an iron-age broch located on the north coast of the island of Tiree, in Scotland. Description Dun Mor (grid reference NM04234927) is situated on a rocky knoll on the northern coast of island of Tiree, about 1 kilometre northwest of the hamlet of Vaul. The broch consists of a drystone tower with an internal diameter of 9.2 metres with walls about 4.5 metres thick. The outer face of the wall survives to a maximum height of 2.2 metres. The entrance is on the southeast side. On the north side of the entrance passage is a small side-chamber, of a type usually called a "guard cell". The intramural cavity is well-preserved, and there are the remains of a staircase, which led to the upper levels, on the north side. The broch was additionally protected by two outer lines of defence, one drawn round the irregular margin of the summit on all sides, and the other taking the form of a hornwork which restricted access from the landward side of the knoll. Excavations The broch was partly excavated around 1880, and it was almost completely excavated by E. W. MacKie in 1962–4. The excavations showed that there had been two phases of occupation before the broch was built. In the earliest phase (5th century BC) there appears to have been a wooden hut, which may have been destroyed by fire. This was followed by a more extensive settlement occupying a larger proportion of the summit area. After an interval of unknown duration (possibly several centuries) the knoll was reoccupied and the construction of the broch and its outworks began. The construction of the broch was dated by radiocarbon dating to the 1st century AD. It appears to have been used initially as a communal refuge, but by the 2nd century it had become instead the permanent residence of a single family. Before long the upper storeys of the broch wall were demolished, and a round house (or an aisled wheel-house) was constructed within the interior. It seems the broch was abandoned in the mid 3rd-century, the latest datable artefact from the interior being a fragment of a Roman glass bowl made in the Rhineland between 160 and 250 AD. The finds include large quantities of native pottery sherds; fragments of Roman glass and samian-ware and coarse-ware vessels; bronze and silver spiral finger-rings; rotary querns; quartzite strike-lights; glass ring-beads; tools and dice of bone; and several tools used in weaving and the working of metals. The finds are now in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow. References Further reading Euan W. Mackie, (1975), Dun Mor Vaul: An Iron Age Broch on Tiree. University of Glasgow.

Dùn

Dùn (schottisch-gälisch für „Befestigung“) ist eine schottische Insel im Nordatlantik. Sie ist, abgesehen von einigen Klippen, die kleinste Insel der Inselgruppe St. Kilda. Von der Hauptinsel Hirta ist Dùn nur durch einen schmalen Kanal getrennt. Dùn ist für Hirta insofern wichtig, als die langgestreckte Insel den einzigen geeigneten Ankerplatz Hirtas, die Village Bay, nach Südwesten hin abschirmt und so gewissermaßen als Wellenbrecher auftritt. Die Insel ist, wie die gesamte St.-Kilda-Inselgruppe, unbewohnt. Auf Dùn befindet sich eine bedeutende Kolonie von Papageitauchern. Etymologie Ein Dun (im Irischen dún, kelt. *dunon; im Schottisch-Gälischen dùn, Walisisch din davon abgeleitet dinas („Stadt“), anglisiert auch Doon oder Down, jeweils mit der Bedeutung „Befestigung“) ist zumeist eine runde bronze- oder eisenzeitliche Anlage aus Trockenmauerwerk mit oft um die 20 m Durchmesser (Loher Fort), die in Westirland häufig und in Schottland als „Atlantic Roundhouse“ bekannt ist.

Dùn

Dùn is an island in St Kilda, Scotland. It is nearly 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) long. Its name simply means "fort" in Scottish Gaelic (for more information, see "dun"), but the fort itself has been lost – old maps show it on Gob an Dùin (NF109972), which is at the seaward end. Though Dùn is almost joined to Hirta at Ruiaval, the two islands are separated by Caolas an Dùin (the straits of Dùn). This prevents Soay sheep from Hirta straying onto the island, and thus it is more vegetated. The small island is home to the largest colony of fulmars in Britain. Before 1828, St Kilda was their only British Isles breeding ground, but they have since spread and established colonies elsewhere, such as at Fowlsheugh. Dùn is a World Heritage site for cultural and natural qualities as one of five Islands that make up five remote Islands, known as St. Kilda. Dùn, which protects Village Bay on Hirta from the prevailing south-westerly winds, was at one time joined to Hirta by a natural arch. MacLean (1972) suggests that the arch was broken when struck by a galleon fleeing the defeat of the Armada, but other sources, such as Mitchell (1992), provide the more credible (if less romantic) explanation that the arch was simply swept away by one of the many fierce storms which batter the islands every winter.

Dùn (Saint Kilda)

Dùn (o "Dun" senza il segno diacritico) è una delle isole dell'arcipelago di Saint Kilda, in Scozia. È lunga circa un miglio. Il suo nome significa semplicemente "fortino" in gaelico scozzese (vedere anche Dun (archeologia)). Tuttavia, il fortino vero e proprio è andato perduto. Alcune vecchie mappe lo segnalano nella località di Gob an Dùin, lungo la costa che si affaccia sul corridoio di mare verso Hirta. L'isola appare quasi collegata a Hirta nei pressi di Ruiaval: le due isole sono separate dal cosiddetto Caolas an Dùin (stretto di Dùn). Questo piccolo corridoio di mare impedisce alle pecore di Soay, stanziate a Hirta, di spingersi oltre e ciò rende Dùn più ricca di vegetazione. L'isola è l'habitat naturale della più grande colonia di fulmari presente in tutto il Regno Unito. Prima del 1828, St. Kilda costituiva l'unico arcipelago britannico in cui questi uccelli si riproducevano. Da allora, essi hanno stabilito colonie anche altrove, per esempio a Fowlsheugh. Dùn protegge Village Bay su Hirta dai forti venti Sud-occidentali. Un tempo, Dùn era collegata a Hirta da un arco naturale. MacLean (1972) ipotizza che l'arco venne distrutto durante la fuga di un galeone dell'Invincibile Armata spagnola. Altre fonti, come Mitchell (1992), forniscono una spiegazione più credibile, anche se meno romantica: l'arco fu semplicemente spazzato via durante una delle numerose e furiose tempeste che si abbattono sull'isola durante ogni inverno.

Dùn (eiland)

Dùn of Dun is een van de eilanden van Saint Kilda, ten zuidoosten van het hoofdeiland Hiort. Dùn was vroeger door een landengte met Hiort verbonden maar is door erosie van het hoofdeiland afgescheiden. Er ligt nu een zeestraat, Caolas an Dùin, van enkele tientallen meter breed tussen beide eilanden. Dùn is in vergelijking met de andere Sint-Kildaanse eilanden erg laag; het is er nergens hoger dan 178 m. Het is een langgerekt eiland, dat zich van noordwest naar zuidoost over anderhalve kilometer uitstrekt. Ten zuiden van Dùn ligt het rotsje Hamalan. Tweeënhalve kilometer ten oostzuidoosten van Dùn ligt het kleinste eiland van Sint-Kilda, Leibhinis, dat in wezen een 62 meter hoge rots is die door zeevogels wordt bevolkt. Zoals het geheel van Saint Kilda wordt Dùn door de National Trust for Scotland beheerd en is het erkend als Werelderfgoed.
Dùn

Dùn – niezamieszkana wyspa znajdująca się na archipelagu St Kilda. Jest długa na prawie milę. Nazwa w języku szkockim gaelickim oznacza fortecę lub fort. Jego najwyższym szczytem jest Bioda Mor (178 m n.p.m.). Położenie i okolica Niemalże złączona z wyspą Hirta, te dwie wyspy rozdziela tylko wąska Caolas an Dùin (cieśnina Dùn).Ta mała wyspa jest lęgowiskiem największej kolonii fulmarów zwyczajnych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Do 1828 St Kilda była ich jedynym miejscem występowania na terytoriach brytyjskich, w latach późniejszych ptaki zaczęły zasiedlać inne miejsca, jak choćby Fowlsheugh . Wyspa ma ponadto także trzy półwyspy – An Fhaing, Na Sgarain oraz Cùl Cleite. Na wyspie znajduje się także niewielka jaskinia. W sztuce W 2016 roku o wyspie powstał singel The Lost Songs of St. Kilda. Nagrał go James MacMillan w duecie z Trevorem Morrisonem na festiwalu Scottish Festival Orchestra.

Dùn

Dùn är en av öarna i St Kildas arkipelag. Den är cirka 1,5 kilometer lång. Namnet Dùn betyder "fort" på skotsk gaeliska, men själva fortet är numera borta. Gamla kartor visar den på Gob an Dùin, vilket är ön yttersta spets på sjösidan. Ön ligger nära ön Hirta. De två öarna separeras av Caolas en Duin (sundet i Dun). Detta förhindrar att Soayfåren som hålls på Hirta går ut på ön. Den har därför mer vegetation än Hirta. Ön är istället boplats för den största kolonin av fåglar i släktet Fulmarus i familjen Stormfåglar i Storbritannien. Före 1828, var St Kilda deras enda brittiska häckningsplats, men de har sedan dess spridit sig och etablerat kolonier på andra håll, till exempel vid Fowlsheugh. Dun, som skyddar bybukten på Hirta från de vanliga sydvästliga vindarna, var en gång förbundet med Hirta med en naturlig valvbåge. Källan MacLean (1972) anser att bågen försvann i samband med ett skepp som flydde undan den spanska armadan, men andra källor som Mitchell (1992) antar att bågen helt enkelt blev bortspolad i en av de vanliga hårda vinterstormarna.
