Full Description
A watching brief was carried out during ground investigation works comprising a series of boreholes and test-pits on the site of a proposed swimming pool by AOC in May 2009. It recorded a variety of features buried beneath a layer of landscaping soil. Concrete and brick founded structures located were probably minor elements of the earlier Montrose Academy. A sandstone wall possibly associated with a former railway siding and a buried ground surface of improved sand. A buried cinder surface was encountered across part of the site and two features were identified cut into the natural sand, which could not be assigned a period or function.
