Archaeological Evaluation (6 March 2008)
NO 2864 4462 (centred on) Work was carried out 6 March 2008 prior to development. The site consists of a former workshop, garage and yards covering c1150m². The site was considered sensitive due to its proximity to a churchyard where early medieval sculptured stones have been found, indicating that Meigle was an important settlement and perhaps even an early monastic centre.
Two trenches were excavated, each 15 x 2m, in the back and front yards. Trench 01 in the front yard revealed the foundations of a 19th-century red sandstone building, garden soil with abundant 19th-century pottery and ash/cinders yard makeup. Trench 02 in the rear yard revealed an area of modern dumping, garden soil, subsoil and the bottom of a linear feature considered to be a cultivation furrow or trench. Nothing pre-dating the 19th century was identified.
