GUARD Archaeology Limited was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during a geoarchaeological assessment at their property at Five Jays, Cleghorn, South Lanarkshire. This work was carried out in order to monitor three hand-excavated test pits on the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Camp Wood Roman Camp, and to determine the extent of sub-surface disturbance within an area proposed for the construction of a house. The test pits were excavated in order to obtain Kubiena samples for thin section micromorphology and Optically Stimulated Luminescence analysis.
The work revealed that no topsoil existed on the two areas assessed
within the property of Five Jays, and that sub-surface deposits within the
Scheduled area had been disturbed. No archaeological features or artefacts were found during the work.
