Archaeology Notes

NO11NE 175 1897 1636

NO 1897 1636 In October 1995 the Trust conducted a watching brief on renovations to this property. The site is located within the town's central core, close to the round tower and sites of early religious establishments. It was considered that the depth of excavation required for the renewal of the ground floor could well reveal archaeological evidence relating to earlier phases of the present building and general site usage dating back to Pictish occupation. Observations were made on the make-up deposits of the floor surface and a small trench in the garden. The floor make-up was examined to a depth of 0.25m and found to be relatively modern. In the garden trench the floor make-up extended outside the building and was a levelling layer for the initial erection of the building. The levelling layer was not bottomed and nothing of archaeological significance was recorded.
