Abstract: |
GUARD Archaeology Limited were commissioned to undertake an archaeological strip, map, sample and record assessment on an area of ground due to be developed at Redbrae Road, Camelon, near Falkirk. This work was undertaken in addendum to the existing written scheme of investigation associated with the mitigation works required in support of the erection of a Class 1 shop unit and associated infrasctructure. Previous evaluation trenching at the proposed development site revealed the presence of potentially significant archaeological remains in the north-east corner including a linear ditch which may be associated with the annexe of Camelon Roman Fort. This additional work therefore focused on the north-east area of the site and revealed the presence of two V-shaped ditches with later re-cutting, a probable drainange ditch, four large pits and several smaller posthole/pit features. Finds including sherds of Roman pottery and metal working waste including slag and hearth lining were recovered from the site. |
