Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited on the proposed development at Guthrie Hill and Smithy Croft, Arbroath. These works were in relation to Planning Application 16/00821/FULL for the erection of 40 dwelling units, and the associated formation of landscaping, access improvements and roads and the demolition of a redundant toilet block. The proposed development comprised an initial desk-based assessment which forms the Archaeological Background for this report and the WSI. The archaeological evaluation amounted to 5-7% of the development area. This was reduced to 3% during fieldwork due to the presence of trees inhibiting excavation and a possible unknown buried service at trench 3 location. During the work, no archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered relating to earlier periods of use on site except modern demolition material. |
