Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited, on behalf of North Ayrshire Council, in an area of ground within Ardrossan Cemetery identified as the possible location for an unmarked grave associated with the sinking of HMS Dasher in 1943. The trial trench evaluation focused on a small area of ground within the western area of the Cemetery that already contained known burials from HMS Dasher and several other World War II graves including those from the RAF. During the work no features associated with a possible mass grave deposit were observed within the soil profiles whose structure was reminiscent of those relating to the areas previous use as agricultural land. |
