Abstract:		 During the period 1-22 September 2011, Alder Archaeology Ltd carried out a watching brief (Alder site code AB25) for Angus Council Infrastructure Services on coastal defence work at Inchcape Park, Arbroath, Angus. The coastal defence work was centred on NGR N0 640 402 and comprised the demolition of the existing red sandstone revetting wall, and a later concrete wall, and the grading of deposits behind these walls for the construction of a rock armour revetment. The work also included the replacement of a concrete slipway. The site was considered to be archaeologically sensitive because the works lay in the vicinity of three known archaeological sites, which had produced a sculptured stone, medieval pottery and a long cist burial. These sites all suggested Early Medieval or Medieval period activity in the area, and it was believed that there was a high probability of archaeological deposits being unearthed during the construction works. The watching brief recovered a moulded or sculptured stone, possibly Medieval, from the foreshore in front of the sea wall. Part of a wall feature aligned NE-SW and constructed of beach cobbles bonded with light brown mortar was revealed below turf and topsoil at the excavation top edge. No other deposits or finds of archaeological significance were encountered.
