Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigative works was undertaken in respect of the proposed quarry on land at Duneaton Quarry, Abington, South Lanarkshire (NGR: NS 9192 2524). An evaluation was carried out from the 6th to the 14th May 2008. The evaluation comprised of thirty three trenches located within the footprint of the proposed quarry development. Five negative features of potential archaeological significance were recorded during in the course of the evaluation. These comprised a small pit [015], a stakehole [021] and three post-holes [017], [023] and [025]. Prehistoric pottery identified as Groove Ware was recovered from pit [015], suggesting a Neolithic date from this small complex of features. Rathmell Archaeology has identified issues that will need to be addressed by the development and outlined a mitigation strategy that may be developed within the context of specific development proposals. These encompass anarchaeologically-led strip, map and sample, post-excavation analysis and reporting. |
