Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out for John Robertson and Sons Joiners Ltd in support of development on land to the north of Doonhill Harbour View, Blackwaterfoot, Isle of Arran (11/00776/PP). The archaeological works were designed to ensure the development can proceed while dealing appropriately with the identified adverse impact on the archaeological resource. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of a series of 8 intrusive trenches, uncovering a total of 826m². The trenches were excavated using a 360° mechanical excavator with a toothless 2m ditching bucket. During the course of the works, a number of rubble field drains, plough marks and linear features, possibly resulting from water run-off, were revealed, as well as three circular pits which contained sherds of ceramic provisionally dated to the Bronze Age and worked fragments of pitchstone.
