Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological excavation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on a proposed residential development on the southern outskirts of Forres, Morayshire. The works, undertaken prior to a residential development, followed on from previous phases of archaeological evaluation and excavation undertaken within a 34 ha land parcel situated on rough pasture centred at NGR: NJ 0308 5720. The evaluation of 2008 identified features across the entire site (Area of roundabout, Areas A, B, C, D, E and F). This comprised linear ditches, pits and post-holes. Artefactual material recovered included Grooved Ware pottery, coarse stone, flint and later prehistoric ceramics. A subsequent phase of archaeological works was required based on the results of this evaluation. The 2013 Phase 1 excavation comprised the complete excavation of a series of features identified specifically within Areas A, B and F. The excavation identified the remains of a series of truncated prehistoric structures including three ring-ditch roundhouses, post-ring structures and isolated pits. Artefactual evidence was recovered in the form of prehistoric ceramic, coarse stone and chipped stone assemblages.
