Full Description
Evaluation and excavation was carried out by AOC (Scotland) Ltd in 1994 at the proposed site of a water treatment plant near Craigmill Farm, Carnoustie. This formed part of an overall environmental assessment by Babtie Environmental, on behalf of Tayside Regional Council Water Services Department. Gradiometer survey of the whole area and trial trenching (in excess of 3% of the area) were used in tandem to evaluate the archaeological potential of the site. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were found apart from truncated cultivation furrows, which are visible as cropmarks on the site and over a wide area in the vicinity. These broad rigs (10m-15m) probably date to the 18th century. The site was visited during coastal zone assessment survey carried out by SCAPE between February and March 2009 at which time the rig and furrow was not visible on the ground.
