Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology was commissioned by the House of Bruar Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land adjacent to their property near Blair Atholl. The field in question is irregular in shape and located immediately E of the House of Bruar complex and Clach na h-Iobairt standing stone - a scheduled monument (SM1517). The site is to be landscaped and developed, with additional car parking spaces provided. The archaeological evaluation resulted in the opening of 21 specifically placed linear trenches totalling 1031.84m2, or 6.88% of the total area to be developed. This was complimented by two engineer test pits, adding a further 12m2 to the area evaluated as part of this archaeological exercise. The final percentage evaluated across the field yielded as 6.96% of the total development area. No significant archaeology was encountered across the area proposed for development, although prehistoric remains were revealed just E of the site. These consisted of a series of negative cut features from which a fire-cracked stone and fragments of Bronze Age pottery were recovered. Samples were also taken. Addyman Archaeology recommends further archaeological monitoring on any development to the E of the site. |
