Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were commissioned to undertake archaeological monitoring during ground breaking works associated with the construction of a Renewable Energy Centre, biomass fuel storage and processing as well as the installation of a district heating pipeline between Guardbridge and St Andrews in Fife. The watching brief followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by Fife Council and Fife Council Archaeology Unit as the route of the pipeline and associated works were identified by Fife Council and Fife Council Archaeology Unit as having archaeological potential. During the watching brief significant archaeological remains were encountered which preliminary assessment has dated to the Early Neolithic, while a small number of features relating to post-medieval land use were also recorded. A rough yard surface was also revealed and is likely to relate to the Seafield Brick and Tile Works. These remains were investigated and recorded as they lay within the route of the pipeline and were unable to be preserved in situ. |
