Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigative works was undertaken in respect of the proposed development of land adjacent to Balmerino Abbey, Fife (NGR ref: NO 357 246). An evaluation was carried out between the 15th and 23rd March 2007 (intermittently). The evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and seven trenches covering approximately 5% of the development area with 422m2 of trenching being opened. A common stratigraphic sequence was exhibited across all of the trenches within the development area, with a mid-brown slightly sandy silt over a slightly varying gravel subsoil, which was a raised marine deposits of Devensian age. Despite the potential for significant archaeology - given the relative closeness of Balmerino Abbey only 19th and early 20th centuries features were located. No evidence of any significant archaeological features or artefacts were located. |
