Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to undertake an evaluation on the site of a proposed new bridge on the A822 over the River Braan at Amulree, Perth and Kinross. The site of the new development is just E of the historic Amulree bridge and is centred on NGR NN 9010 3679. The development site was considered to be of archaeological interest as it encompasses the site of an historic ford over the River Braan, and it was also considered possible that the lost site of St Mary's Chapel, located somewhere on the N side of the river could be within the development area. The evaluation (Alder site code AJ01) was carried out during the period 2-3 December 2009. Evaluation trenches on the N side of the river revealed that a ramp of redeposited natural sandy gravel leading from the A822 down to the river was probably 19th Century and trenches on the S side of the river revealed only natural deposits of silt, gravel and a compact stony layer. Nothing that could be related to the historic ford or the site of St Mary's Chapel was found |
