Abstract: |
W J Beatson Architect commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the site of an office development in Blackfriars Street, Perth. The site forms the rear of 3 Atholl Crescent. The proposed development area is the site of a former garage and stores, previously a stable block, at NGR NO 1176 2390. The work (Alder site code PEX176) was undertaken during the periods 9-12 April 2013, 21-30 June 2013 and 17-25 March 2014 in mixed weather conditions. The remains of six human burials from the Blackfriars cemetery were recorded. Two wells, one probably dating to the early 19th century, the other possibly to the 18th century, and a stone culvert, also possibly of 18th-century date, were also recorded. The wall of a 19th-century outhouse was also recorded. The human bones were reburied on site. |
