Abstract: |
Heritage and Archaeological Research Practice Limited (HARP) were commissioned by Guild Homes, to carry out a programme of archaeological works at the location of a proposed development in the land south of Gardyne Street, Friockheim in order to fulfil an archaeological condition as part of planning consent (Planning Reference 11/00002/PPPM). The first phase of the works consisted of an archaeological evaluation of the proposed development site, other than the South East portion, which was under crop at the time.The findings from the initial phase of evaluation led to the requirement to extend an area around archaeological features found in Trench 16. In the second phase of evaluation trenches in the South East corner no further remains were revealed other than a series of field drains of both rubble and clay pipe varieties. Other than plough furrows evaluation of the south eastern portion of the development area revealed no features. A total of 39 evaluation trenches were excavated. A total of 33 negative features were revealed in the excavated area around Trench 16. Of these, four are likely natural deposits; one is modern; one is a large ring ditch with three internal features; one is a truncated ring gully with six associated pits or postholes; and seventeen are isolated pits. |
