Abstract: |
The Cat Stane standing stone which stood in the grounds of the former Kings Inch School was removed for conservation prior to the demolition of the school, and will be reinstated following completion of the new care home. A desk-based assessment established that the stone is not in its original position and there is some doubt as to the antiquity of the stone. The stone was erected in its current position in Inch Park some time between 1931 and 1949 according to the cartographic evidence. An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to the construction of a residential care home. Eight trenches with a combined total area of c.310m2 were excavated. Deep deposits of made ground were revealed. No archaeological deposits or remains were discovered. |
