Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to a residential development on a greenfield site on the southern outskirts of Forres, Moray. The works consisted of a 10% sample evaluation (34,000 m2) of a c.34 ha land parcel The proposed development contained a series of cropmark sites identified from aerial photographs (NMRS No. NJ05NW 72 and NJ05NW 116). The trenching distribution was therefore both specific to the known sites and subject to random placement. The evaluation identified features across the entire site. This comprised linear ditches pits and post-holes. Artefactual material recovered included Grooved Ware, coarse stone, flint and later prehistoric ceramics. A secondary phase of archaeological works was required on part of the development sire based on the results of the evaluation. The excavation phase ran concurrently with the latter phases of the evaluation. The archaeological excavation comprised the complete excavation of a series of features identified underlying the area of a proposed roundabout and access road situated alongside the Grantown Road (A490). The excavation identified the remains of two palisaded enclosures, ring-ditch and ring-groove roundhouses and a series of adjacent pits.
