Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a further archaeological evaluation undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) in July 2013 within the area of a proposed temporary bus terminal to serve the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, Perth and Kinross. A previous evaluation had found several vestigial features and a sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from one of these. However, the taphanomic security of the pottery could not be guaranteed and the vestigial nature of the features made an assessment of the significance of the features difficult. In order to prevent potentially unnecessary excavation PKHT recommended a further programme of evaluation. A total of six trenches were excavated covering an area of 477m2. This combined with the earlier phase of evaluation provides a total coverage of 1575m2. This phase of investigation covered a far wider area than required and served to confirm that the features present were isolated and extremely vestigial and did not form part of a wider complex of significant remains. The limited finds are not taphanomically secure. It is most likely that the features are agricultural in origin. |
