Abstract: |
A 7% archaeological evaluation was carried out on 14-15 January 2019; the weather was sunny and damp. The site is on the N side Denburn valley on a S facing gentle slope at top of valley. Seven trenches, representing 5% of the total area of the development, were excavated using a 14 ton rubber duck with a 1.7m flat edged ditching bucket. The topsoil was heavy and clay rich and varied from 0.25m at the N and E of the site to 0.6m in the SW of the site. The subsoil was clayey gravel. Trenches 1-3 revealed NNW-SSE furrows and all trenches showed signs of modern plough scores. |
