Abstract: |
A series of test pits were excavated within the grounds of St Leonards School, St Andrews in advance of geotechnical site investigations. The work was undertaken under Scheduled Monument Consent. The remains of a sandstone cobbled surface was discovered in one test pit, sealed by topsoil and ash and set on made ground deposits. The surface is likely to be the remains of a former path or track leading from the main town wall entrance to St Catherine's House. Its lack of depth suggests that it is fairly recent in date. The soil profiles evealed in the test pits indicate that the area to the south of St Catherine's House has been xtensively built up and landscaped. Potential traces of the ground surface prior to landscaping were revealed to the east of the investigation area. No other archaeological remains were discovered. |
