Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to the construction of a proposed Solar Farm development at Cameron Reservoir, Fife (NGR: NO 47619 10281). The evaluation required a 4% trenching sample of the proposed 9.8 hectare development area (1960 linear metres). The development is situated on open, poorly drained farmland to the south-east of Cameron Reservoir. Trenching revealed drift geology of boulder clay. Evidence of iron panning was observed in several of the southernmost trenches. Modern drainage had been attempted with numerous deeply set drain cuts and several broken clay tile drains in evidence. These drains were set at 5.0 m intervals and ran north-west to south-east. The natural was overlain by a shallow, poorly drained, improved plough soil. This ranged from 0.20 m to 0.30 m in depth. The start of peat formation was observed within the trenches located along the southern boundary of the site. No archaeologically significant remains were observed. Occasional sherds of 19th century ceramics were observed within the plough soil. Given the lack of significant archaeological remains and the level of recording undertaken no further works are considered necessary. This will be determined by Mr Douglas Speirs Archaeologist for Fife Council.
