Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was carried out at seven locations either side of the A9 Perth to Inverness road, between Luncarty and the Pass of Birnam, prior to proposed dualling. The survey areas were centred around, or adjacent to, known heritage assets and covered a combined area of 6.7 hectares. The relatively narrow width of the survey areas combined with the effects of variations in the bedrock geology and superficial deposits on the data has made confident interpretation of anomalies difficult. However, an enclosure and possible souterrain have been identified at Northleys Farm (Jacobs UK - Cultural Heritage Asset No. 18), confirming cropmark data. Elsewhere potentially archaeological anomalies have also been identified north of Newmills Farm. |
