Full Description
A watching brief and excavation was carried out by CFA in 2006 over the topsoil stripping associated with the A92 upgrading. In total 17 features were recorded, including field drains, furrows, pits and post holes. Some of the field drains contained clay pipes and these ran parallel to the furrows. The remainder of the drains were rubble-filled or channels lined with red sandstone. The small pits generally had a single fill. One feature, F131, was oval in plan with steep sloping sides and a concave base, aligned south-east to north-west. It contained seven charcoal-flecked fills. No artefacts were found within but the basal fill was waterlogged and contained identifiable charcoal preserved within it. Small quantities of poorly preserved cereal grains were recovered from of the pit fill, from which both wheat and barley were identified. Two seeds of wild taxa were also recovered along with small quantities of wood charcoal.
