Abstract:
In 2016 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology was commissioned by Neil Sutherland at Wardell Armstrong LLP on behalf of their client Lightsource Renewable Energy Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at Middle Balbeggie, Kirkcaldy, Fife (NGR NT 28934 95688). This was a result of formal planning consent being granted (Planning reference: 15/02687/FULL) with a condition attached to the consent (Condition 8), stipulating the need for archaeological investigation of the site prior to the development of a 5MW solar farm. The archaeological potential of the site was deemed uncertain, and therefore a 5% sample of the development area was requested by Douglas Speirs, Archaeologist (Development Plan), at Fife Council. It was further agreed that if no archaeological remains were encountered after the excavation of the first 2.5% of the trenches, no further archaeological work would be necessary (WAA, 2016; 4). The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over five days from the 14th to the 18th of March 2016. The evaluation involved the excavation of 23 50m-long, 2m-wide evaluation trenches, totalling approximately 2300m² of excavation across the proposed development area. The evaluation revealed likely post-medieval and modern tile-pipe and cobble in-filled land-drains. No archaeological remains were identified within the study area. D Churchill 2016
