Abstract: |
SUAT Ltd was commissioned by Mr A Whitelaw to undertake an evaluation (SUAT site code AA11), in advance of development on ground adjacent to High Street and to the north of Drumcharry House, Auchterarder, centred NGR NN 9460 1290. The site comprised approximately 200m²of garden ground with bushes and some mature trees. The proposed development area was considered to have archaeological potential as it sits in the centre of the historic settlement of Auchterarder. The settlement dates from at least the 13th century, first appearing in the historical record at this time with a note of grant of tithes to the monastic house at Inchaffery. The requirement was for the evaluation of 10% of the site or 20m² and two trenches each measuring 2 X 5m were excavated on 13th October 2008. The evaluation found nothing of archaeological significance and it was considered that further archaeological work was not required. The work was fully funded by Mr A Whitelaw. |
