Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundwork for a residential development at St Nicholas House, St Andrews. The southern area was found to contain two drains. No associated dating evidence was found within these features so it was not possible to date them. They are likely however to be post-medieval but more than this can not be stated. The ground reduction in the northern area was not enough to expose the natural geology and so no features were found within this area. An unstratified fragment of human skull was recovered by the contractors. No evidence is available to securely locate where the human remains came from but it is thought that they must have come from immediate environs of the development site. |
