Full Description
A watching brief was maintained by Kirkdale Archaeology in November 2007 at St. Vigean's Museum during the excavation of 18 postholes for a new boundary fence and the removal of an earth bank at the rear of the property. Nothing of archaeological significance was revealed in any of the postholes.The earth bank also contained building debris from the demolished cottage including large, dressed sandstone blocks. All the stone was checked for evidence of Pictish carving but none was found. A watching brief was undertaken in February 2008 during excavations for a septic tank, a soak-away and a trench to connect the septic tank to the back of the museum. Up to 2m of dark brown silt and below this natural grey boulder clay were recorded to a depth of up to 3m. Nothing of archaeological interest was found.
