Steps to ancient hillfort well in Aberdeenshire uncovered

Archaeologists have revealed the steps to an ancient hillfort’s well in Aberdeenshire.

The site on Mither Tap, a summit on Bennachie, a hill near Inverurie, was first recorded in the 1800s before being covered over.

University of Aberdeen’s Northern Picts project said its excavation meant the steps could been seen for the first time in more than 200 years.

Archaeologists believe the steps could be 1,000 years old,
