Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to a proposed housing development at Glenalmond Road, Rattray Perthshire (NGR: NO 1856 4605). The evaluation required a 10% trenching sample (5,800 linear metres) of the proposed 11.59 hectare development area. The area is currently used as arable land. Due to steep sloping ground along the northern site boundary and the presence of live services the total trenching undertaken amounted to 4,225 linear metres. Trenching revealed drift geology of relatively free draining glacial sands and gravels cut by occasional modern drains aligned north-east to south-west. Numerous plough scars were observed. The natural was overlain by an improved plough-soil of organic red brown sandy loam. Pockets of colluvial silt were recorded in many of the trenches, with substantial deposits occurring at the base of sloping ground. No archaeologically significant features or material was recovered during the evaluation. Evidence of 19th century improvement occurred in the form of ceramics and glass which were observed in almost all of the trenches. No further works are considered necessary.
