Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Atkins to undertake archaeological monitoring and trial trench evaluation as part of a programme of works to upgrade the A96 at Inveramsay Rail Bridge. The site was located to the north and east of the A96 at Inveramsay Rail Bridge on the western banks of the River Urie. A total of 33 trenches were excavated, of which two contained features of archaeological significance. The features included two spreads of artefact rich material and 10 pits from which a significant finds assemblage was recovered. It was dominated by Neolithic pottery consisting of rim and base fragments of the modified Carinated Bowl tradition; providing a date range of c 3800 to c 3300 BC. Retrieved lithics also included two scrapers of Neolithic origin. A single sherd of pottery dating to the Chalcolithic-Early Bronze Age (c 2400-1800 BC) offered limited evidence for later activity. Palaeoenvironmental analysis provided an indication of environment and economy; with the presence of wild and domestic plants on the site, along with hazelnut shell, cereal grain and flax seeds. The site is one of only a small number in Scotland from the Neolithic where flax has been recorded.
