Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology was commissioned by energy supplier SSE to undertake an archaeological watching brief (Alder code FF15) on the excavation of a cable service trench and 'T joint' at the former Royal Hotel, 33 Castle Street, Forfar, NGR NO45577 50683. The work took place 28 March 2013, in good weather conditions. Excavation of the trench in the pend leading from Castle Street pavement to the rear of the hotel, revealed deposits below recent makeup and resurfacing containing finds of modern pottery, cobbles, large bore ceramic pipe fragments and one residual sherd of medieval pottery. Excavation on the pavement of Castle Street for the service 'T joint' revealed a medieval ditch feature aligned E-W, from which fragments of burnt bone and one medieval pottery sherd were recovered. The excavations for the cable service trench were completed on the day and no further archaeological work will be required. |
