Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Bell Ingram Design on behalf of their client Gardyne Homes in support of the erection of 10 dwelling houses on land at Balmachie Road, Carnoustie, DD7 6GL (Planning Ref: 17/00450/FULL; Grid Ref: NO 5566 3519). The archaeological works were designed to mitigate any adverse impact on the archaeological remains within the proposed development area. All of the trenches revealed natural subsoil which in the majority of the trenches was a uniformed natural subsoil consisting of sand with frequent stone inclusions. A circular feature recorded most likely represents a small post-hole with an oval feature representing a small pit. The close association of the two features suggested that they are potentially contemporary with each other. Similar archaeological features were recorded during an archaeological excavation in 2016 to the west (GUARD 2016) and due to the close proximity of the proposed development area it is highly likely that comparative archaeological features would be recorded. Further mitigation was recommended in the form of a Watching Brief. |
