Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief (16th August) undertaken by Headland Archaeology during a phase of initial site investigation works. This comprised of the excavation of five test pits and 16 cores along the proposed development. Following this, an archaeological watching brief was carried out on the 7th and 8th of October 2016 in order to mitigate any adverse impacts on archaeological material discovered during major resurfacing works of the A78. Five archaeological features were identified and recorded during the fieldwork: a cobbled surface; a possible base of a market cross; a previous kerb or gutter; a flat stone surface possibly from an old pedestrian walkway; and a patch of lime. The majority of the features were identified in or close to the centre of the development, where the modern roundabout links Main Street with Aitken Street and Frazer Street. This was the main area where the sub surface had been reached and removed in places to reveal underlying features. A large proportion of the development area was not excavated to a deep enough level to breech the sub surface or binder course, therefore, archaeology below these deposits was not identified or impacted by this phase of works.
