Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a watching brief on groundworks for a potato store at Middle Drums Farm located just to the S of Brechin. The site was considered archaeologically sensitive as the farm lay only 50m to the SW of a scheduled area containing ring ditches. The watching brief (Alder site code BR13) was carried out on 16 August 2010. Some demolition had taken place and an area measuring 40 X 16m was monitored during excavations for concrete bases for steel uprights along with slight ground reduction. The excavations and ground reduction revealed natural deposits in the form of solid rock, conglomerate, gravel and cobbles at the site surface. Parts of the foundations of a recently demolished building were recorded but nothing of archaeological significance was found. The lack of archaeological features was attributed to the fact that the site had been reduced to natural deposits for the erection of farm buildings in the 19th century |
