Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Angle Park Sand and Gravel Co. Ltd in support of the change of use of land from agricultural to industrial/commercial and the extension of the sand and gravel quarry to the south of the existing quarry at Melville Gates Quarry, Ladybank, Cupar, Fife KY15 7RF (NGR: NO 31676 11381) (Planning ref: 13/00976/EIA). The archaeological investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation and was designed to assess a 5% sample of the proposed development area. In total 3,160.2m² of trenching was excavated, slightly exceeding the required 5% sample. All of the trenches revealed sand-based natural subsoil across the proposed development site. Within one trench a pit was recorded with a single sherd of Grooved Ware pottery was recovered from the fill. A number features associated with drainage and agricultural activities were found to be cut into the subsoil across the site. |
