Document record MAB60880 - CARLOGIE ROAD, CARNOUSTIE

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on farmland to the north of Carnoustie by AOC in September 2008.

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on farmland to the north of Carnoustie by AOC in September 2008. In total, 39 trenches were excavated across the site. A number of tile and rubble field drains were recorded, as well as a number of shallow linear channels and ditches plus a few pits, the majority of which seemed to be associated with agricultural activity. Artefacts were only recovered from four of the recorded features. One of the main ditches recorded transected a number of the excavated trenches, and contained within its fill a number of sherds of 19th century pottery. Two possible hammerstones were recovered from two separate pits, and two fragments of abraded red ceramic were recovered from within the fill of a ditch recorded at the southern end of the site. At least three of the trenches recorded a field boundary noted on the 1st edition OS map.
