Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on ground to the West of Easter Cottage, Fowlis Wester in advance of proposed residential development. Terms of reference were supplied by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust which required an evaluation of 6% of the available area of 0.22 Ha. The development site was considered to have good archaeological potential as it is located less than 50m South of the parish church which stands on a very early site which has produced important Pictish stones. Four evaluation trenches each 16m in length and 2m wide were excavated. In general the evaluation revealed modern deposits of demolition rubble and a gravel surface, a probable 19thC retaining wall, a 19thC soakaway, a stone surface and wall of 19th C date and two deep field drains with a pit. The field drains and pit are likely to represent medieval horticultural activity. The evaluation revealed no evidence relating to the settlement that may have surrounded the parish church. No further archaeological work was proposed for this site. |
