Abstract: |
Watching briefs were kept during the refurbishment of parts of the Forteviot-Dunning-Aberuthven 11kv power line. NO 03464 15877 The replacement of a wooden pole and its stay was monitored because of the proximity of two burial mounds (NO01NW 139 and 40 although nothing of significance was uncovered in either trench. NO 02906 15229 - NO 02212 14616 Thirteen poles carrying an overhead line, together with several associated stays, were replaced within the limits of a Roman temporary camp (NO01NW 7), a Scheduled Ancient Monument, on the E side of Dunning. No archaeological features were uncovered in any of the trenches. NO 01774 14570 - NO 01664 14457 A watching was carried out during trenching for an underground cable on the S side of playing fields to the W of Dunning, close to the site of a putative early Christian ditch (DES 2007, 154). Excavation failed to reach glacial deposits within two stretches of the 160m-long trench although this might simply indicate undulations in the subsoil. NN 98963 14844 - NN 98875 14756 The excavation of a 150m-long trench for an underground cable was monitored because of the proximity of a possible early medieval cemetery (NN91SE 33) at Laigh of Rossie, 1km SE of Aberuthven. However, nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered. |
