Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by SUAT Ltd in November 2004. Nos 29-22 had been developed prior to the evaluation. The site, on the waterfront of the medieval burgh, was partially occupied on the west by a slaughterhouse, shown on Wood's 1822 plan, and a now demolished fish processing plant. Two trenches, 40m sq in total (5% of the site) were excavated. The southern half was found to have a 2.2m deep deposit of made up ground to compensate for the natural beach slope. It contained modern pottery. The northern part of the site were the remains of foundation walls of mortared red sandstone, a slab-built box drain and associated deposits of an early modern building with 18-19th century pottery. Below the made-up ground below this building were earlier levelling deposits which included a medieval pottery sherd. A possible worked flint was found in a pipe trench.
