Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group prior to a proposed residential development on Moncur Road, Inchture, Perth and Kinross. The evaluation consisted of 1359 m2 of trenching across the development area. The topsoil on site was a mid brown clay loam overlying a mainly red sand, with areas of yellowish brown sandy clay to the SW edge. This edge of the site contained two stone walls running parallel to each other with modern fence posts inserted in the top that may represent a former road or avenue now removed by the modern A90. The trenches containing the red sand and gravel subsoil revealed an abundance of archaeological features that are suggestive of prehistoric activity. The majority of the features were linear and curvilinear ditches that varied in width and orientation. Several pits or post holes were also revealed, two of which were noted for containing an abundance of burnt bone fragments. |
