Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trenching evaluation was carried out at Mackie's Mill, near East Wemyss, Fife in advance of an extension to the Earlseat opencast mine. Trial trenching led to the identification of a large isolated pit which was fully excavated but yielded no information as to its date or purpose; three further small pits, two of which contained sherds of prehistoric pottery, and two boundary ditches. Vestigial remains of rig-and-furrow cultivation were also observed in the southern part of the site. |
