Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring on ground breaking works related to the Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme, Moray was undertaken between June 2012 and April 2013. Previous evaluations and an excavation were conducted at four sites along the river Lossie in 2011, encountering the remains of a post medieval mill at Deanshaugh (AOC 2011). These further works are a safeguard against the destruction of significant archaeology throughout the areas not covered by the evaluation. Four areas (A to D) were highlighted as requiring further monitoring works. In Area A at Kingsmills, the remains of an illicit post medieval grave was revealed. Area B, next to Deanshaugh Mill (NMRS No. NJ26SW 535) revealed a well that would have been contemporary with the mill. At Pansport Bridge, Area C, the structural make-up of the Industrial river bank was exposed and recorded. Lastly the riverbank works to the West of Mansion House Hotel, Area D required a watching brief during a topsoil strip but no archaeology was revealed. Kevin Paton 2013 |
