Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Fred Edgley to undertake an archaeological evaluation, in advance of development at Mains of Carpow, Newburgh. The steading of Mains of Carpow (centred on NGR NO 2090 1775) is surrounded by a Scheduled Ancient Monument relating to the Roman legionary fortress of Carpow, but the steading is itself not scheduled. The work (Alder site code CW02) took place in two phases, 14-15th March 2011 and 28-29th April 2011. Eight percent of the area of 4,600m² was evaluated with 9 trenches varying in length from 16m to 34m. An extra area measuring 6 X 10.5m (Trench 10) was evaluated to further assess what mitigation measures may be required for the new build. Significant finds were major ditch features and a possible beam slot, all of which are believed to relate to the Roman occupation. |
