Abstract:		 SUAT Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation (SUAT site code JG02) on May 26th 2009 at the site of a proposed swimming pool within the grounds of Mylnefield House, Invergowrie. The proposed development was considered to have archaeological implications because the grounds of Mylnefield House were recorded as the site of a prehistoric stone circle in 1911 by A Elliott. In addition the fields to the east, south and west of the grounds contain the remains of unenclosed prehistoric settlements identified by aerial photographic survey. Three evaluation trenches (01-03) each measuring 2 x 5m were excavated over an area measuring 18 x 8m which equated to an evaluation of 20% of the available area. The three evaluation trenches each produced similar archaeological sequences. Below turf and topsoil was clay, sealing a loose rubble/demolition makeup layer between 0.25m and 0.90m thick. Below the rubble a former ground surface was reached. A crude box drain cut into a former ground surface lay below the rubble in Trench 02. The old ground surface deposits were sterile with regard to finds but the rubble contained late 18th or early 19th century pottery. Natural clay and sand deposits were reached between 1.25 and 1.35m below site surface. It was concluded the rubble sealed by clay had been used to infill a hollow or a dip in the landscape at this location and that this had probably taken place at the time of the demolition of the former Mylnefield House which had stood close to the site of the proposed swimming pool. No deposits or features relating to the stone circle or any other prehistoric remains were identified.
