Abstract: |
Topsoil stripping was monitored by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) at Powmyre Quarry, Angus during May 2013. Three previous phases of archaeological monitoring had been undertaken by Headland Archaeology between 2004 and 2010. This phase of work (Phase 4) involved monitoring a topsoil strip on an area to the north of current quarry operations. The earliest features discovered were a domestic timber structure and a group of pits dating to the Early to Mid Neolithic period. Further prehistoric remains were found to the south including a series of pits containing Grooved Ware pottery and other domestic material which was associated with burnt areas. Nearby an 8-post rectangular structure was uncovered which probably dates to the Late Bronze Age. On the east side of the stripped area was a Medieval or Post Medieval corn drying kiln and remains relating to the demolished farmstead of Cranford. Post-Medieval Rig and Furrow was present across the stripped area. |
