Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief on ground works for the construction of a new bridge and new road realignments at the A93/B951 Lair Junction, Glen Shee, Perth and Kinross. The settlement of Lair appears on Timothy Pont's map (late 16th century), and on Stobie's 1783 map and subsequent maps. Major Caulfeild's military road passes through Glenshee, and was constructed by 1759. A part of the military road converges with the A93 at the southern tie-in with the new road. There are many prehistoric and early historic sites on higher ground to the W of the A93, but these are outwith the development area, and were not affected. The watching brief took place at various times between 1 July 2013 and 14 August 2014 and was centred on the new bridge construction located at NO 14223 63276. The monitoring recorded natural spreads of stone and other natural deposits as well as some archaeological features such as a stone drain on the northern part of the site to take runoff from the old military road into a field. Some modern finds, pottery and a horsehoe were recovered. Of particular interest was the cutting into the embankment of the old military road on the W side of the A93 at the southern end of the site where a 19th-century boot was recovered and the construction of the old military road embankment was recorded.
