Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted to monitor digging of all areas to be disturbed by the development of a house site. The proposed house site lay on an historical pilgrimage route to Iona, and other areas of archaeological significance were close by. (NMRS NM32SW1, NMRS NM32SW11, NMRS NM32SW13 ) Three trenches denoting the areas for drainage/septic tank usage, drive-way and house area were stripped of topsoil by digger using a flat edged 2m bucket, and any area of archaeological interest was hand cleaned and investigated by trowel. One archaeological feature was identified; a 0.30m wide x 5.20m long field drain, containing later 19th and early 20th century pottery. No other archaeological features were uncovered. |
