Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation works was carried out forf Dalgleish Associates on behalf of Laird Aggregates Ltd to inform the development a proposal for mineral extraction on land to the south of Kinloch House, Collessie, Fife. The evaluation confirmed the presence of significant archaeological sites first identified from aerial photography within the proposed extraction area. The archaeological sites included an unenclosed settlement that may stretch from the Iron Age to the Pictish period on a knoll that would have been a peninsula into the drained Rossie Loch. This settlement includes a scheduled souterrain, evidence for post build structures and sunken structures with paved floors. Further north was a severely truncated pit alignment of uncertain, but probably prehistoric, origin. A number of dispersed pits or post-holes were also located, one of which contained numerous sherds of a Neolithic Grooved Ware pottery vessel. The findings of the evaluation have been used to inform a series of recommendations regarding the treatment of these sites within the design process for the proposed extraction. |
