Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted by Mr Colin Donald on behalf of the Chrystal Trust for Bloomhill Fields and Homes for Heroes to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed development on a greenfield site to the East of Shira Lodge in Cardross. The client proposes to erect two dwellings and associated vehicular access. The dwellings will be social housing designed for disabled veterans from the armed forces. The archaeological works followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by Argyll and Bute Council. The condition required that a programme of archaeological evaluation be completed in advance of the proposed development. The archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of six evaluation trenches across the footprint of the proposed development. The site was shown to be archaeologically sterile, with extensive drainage work having taken place on the flatter ground at the base of the slope. |
