Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological works comprising a watching brief of ground works on land adjacent to West Burn Lane, St. Andrews. The watching brief revealed the site to be significantly disturbed by modern development, with levelling deposits and the foundations of buildings dating from the 19th and 20th centuries exposed. However, beneath these, intact medieval deposits have been preserved in situ at the northern end of the site. Two boundary ditches were identified, one of which contained pottery dating from the 12th to 14th century, sealed by a former garden soil layer up to 0.2m thick. Matthew Ginnever 2013. |
