Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring works was required by Bell Ingram Design on behalf of their client Gardyne Homes on land at Balmachie Road, Carnoustie, DD7 6GL. Archaeological monitoring was carried out over a total of 5 days from 10th-12th, 14th January and 13th March 2018. In total twenty-one features were recorded during the monitoring works and on further investigation two of the features were considered to be of natural origin with the remaining nineteen features all considered to be evidence of anthropic activity. Five undiagnostic sherds of ceramic from the same vessel were recovered. Four of the sherds were very degraded and small measuring only 20mm by 20mm with the largest measuring maximum dimensions of 40mm by 30mm. Although the density of the features is considerably less to those recorded to the west of the site (GUARD 2016), the archaeological monitoring did recover features and artefacts that are potentially prehistoric in date and of a comparable age to the Neolithic and Bronze Age features/artefacts recorded in the Carnoustie High School playing fields to the west. |
