Abstract: |
J.W. Souttar Ltd commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the installation of a subterranean electric cable at Scone Palace, prior to the installation of an above-ground solar array. The entire length of the cable trench was monitored, a distance of approximately 140.00m, the majority excavated by mechanical mini-digger and the remainder hand-dug. The trench ran from a duct in the NE wall of the Palace to a disused tennis court to the NW, the planned location of the array. Monitoring (site code PE64) was conducted between 18th - 20th March, 2019, in generally fine weather conditions. A deposit of stone rubble and disarticulated human bone, including skull fragments, were exposed beneath a lawn between the Palace and the Moot Hill. |
