Abstract:
A trial trench evaluation was carried out of the planned approach road and bridge footings for the proposed Third Don Crossing and the area of the proposed A96 Park and Ride, located next to Walton Road to the north of the A96. The evaluation of the approach road and bridge footings comprised 29 trial trenches or test pits. A total of 11 features were recorded during the fieldwork all appeared to be fairly recent, probably less than 300 years old. The evaluation of the Park and Ride comprised 36 trial trenches. A total of 42 features were recorded mainly pits and post-holes. Paleoenvironmental evidence from samples taken from pit fills indicates that the features could be of possible Iron Age or Medieval date. The majority of the features were confined to within an area of some 90m by 120m in the south-eastern part of the development area.
