Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology conducted a watching brief (CF18) during excavation of a trench to provide a spur cable from an existing supply for radio station equipment near to Milquhanzie Hill fort (SM7125), 4km Northeast of Crieff. The fort has 3 ramparts which are visible as earthworks forming a pear-shaped enclosure on the Southeast end of the hill summit and there is also a cup-marked stone situated nearby. The watching brief was to monitor work approximately 90m outside the scheduled monument and to document any previously unrecorded features associated with the site. The watching brief found only the modern cable trench running E - W, which was cut into orange/yellow natural clay loam and filled by brown clay loam soil. No artefacts were recovered. The spur trench was left open for cable connection and backfilling by the client (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) at a later date. The watching brief took place on 1st March 2022 and was commissioned by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks. |
