Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Murray Archaeology Services at this site in September 2007 prior to the submission of a planning application for development of an area to the southwest of Broomend of Crichie henge monument and avenue. Three trenches were excavated all running northwest-southeast, parallel to the road leading to Broom Lodge. A number of features were recorded mainly in the most northerly trench, two of which were of early prehistoric date. Radiocarbon dates indicate that the small group of features at the west end of the trench were of Mesolithic date. The northwest part of the site was subsequently excavated by MAS in July 2010. A small number of prehistoric features where there was slightly deeper topsoil. Modern ploughing and earlier cultivation, tree roots and animal activity had severely damaged the evidence of earlier activity. Two sherds of coarse pottery, probably Bronze Age in date were found in F1, while a flint which may also date to the Bronze Age was recovered from F2. A second flint found in the topsoil is thought to be Neolithic in date.
