Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to the construction of a proposed Solar Farm development at Jamesfield Farm, Newburgh, Perth and Kinross (NGR: NO 20050 17956 The evaluation required a 5% trenching sample of the proposed 8.5 hectare development area (2,125 linear metres). The development is situated on open, farmland close to the confluence of the River Earn and River Tay. Trenching revealed drift geology of raised marine and estuarine clays, sands and gravels. Numerous rubble and tile drains were observed running downslope north to south. These drains were set at 5.0 m intervals. The natural was overlain by a compact, improved plough soil which ranged from 0.30 m to 0.40 m in depth. A geophysical survey undertaken prior to the evaluation had revealed a promising suite of possible features. However the evaluation revealed these to be related to changes in natural and modern drainage. The only archaeologically significant remains recorded during the evaluation were the ephemeral traces of 18th/19th century broad rig and furrow agriculture which ran across the site aligned north-east to south-west. Occasional sherds of 19th century ceramics were observed within the plough soil. A previous walk over of the site had produced a small assemblage of Roman imbrex terracotta roof tile. A few small pieces of this material including a pan tile were recovered from the plough soil during the evaluation. Given the lack of significant archaeological remains and the level of recording undertaken no further works are considered necessary. This will be determined by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT) on behalf of Perth and Kinross Council.
