Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological recording of test pits prior to the construction of an extension to the rear of 18 The Scores, St Andrews, Fife. The Site was within the medieval core of St Andrews and the upstanding property dates to the late 19th century. Three test pits were excavated although only two were excavated to the maximum required depth of 1m. The third test pit was abandoned at 0.6m due to tree roots. Similar material was recorded in all three test pits with three distinct layers of silty sand in the two fully excavated test pits and two layers in the third test pit. The three layers likely represent agricultural activity in the area prior to its 19th century development. No archaeological features were identified although a small assemblage of medieval pottery was recovered. |
