Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of four trenches to house the uprights for a new gate to the NW of the Ticket Office to the W of Spynie Palace. The retrieval of a 15th-century pottery sherd indicates the archaeological sensitivity of the area, even at a relatively shallow depth. The excavation has also shown that the area has been subject to later landscaping but still holds high archaeological potential within the layers sealed by this later work. Because of this, further ground breaking works should similarly be accompanied by an archaeological watching brief. |
