Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Springfield Properties Ltd over a greenfield development on the south side of Elgin, Moray. AOC Archaeology were commissioned to undertake a 10% archaeological evaluation. The evaluation consisting of twenty trenches totalling 3830 m2 was conducted between 10th and 13th Septemeber 2007. The evaluation identified a series of isolated pits and two parallel linear ditches. A second phase of works comprising the excavation of the ditches was completed between 13th and 17th September 2007. No dateable material was recovered from the features and they are thought to relate to pre-improvement farming. The evaluation uncovered no other features or artefacts of archaeological significance. |
