Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology was commissioned by Delson Contracts Ltd on behalf of their client Angus Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief (Alder site code MT 29) at the location of the A935 road realignment at the Mill of Dun, Montrose. The work was centred on NGR NO 667 592, approximately 7.2 Km from Brechin toward Montrose. The site lies within the property boundary of the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) which encompasses the House of Dun and its designed landscape. The programme of archaeological works was undertaken to satisfy the requirements set out in the NTS document 'Scope and Framework for an Archaeological Watching Brief' which was issued for this site. The watching brief was undertaken during the period 20th-24th October 2014. Special attention was paid to recording and assessing any archaeological remains that could be associated with the House of Dun, Dun Mill and environs. Topsoiling on the S side of the A935 was monitored and revealed evidence of the former edge of the Montrose Basin in the form of a layer of dark mottled silty loam. Other geological deposits included a layer of cobble-sized stones and silty sand deposits. Remains of walls, drains and metalling for a track associated with Dunmill Cottage were recorded. The site of Dunmill Cottage was seen to be located on a low natural mound and made-up ground which remained in-situ for the course of the new road. A modern cow skeleton was found during ground reduction close to the former N edge of the adjacent field on the S side of the A935. Modern service cables were recorded beside the A935. A watching brief on the N side of the road to the E of Mill of Dun was not required as there was to be no ground reduction at this location. Nothing of archaeological significance was found and further archaeological monitoring is not required. Ray Cachart 2014.
