ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted by the Affordable Housing Programme at Fife Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed housing development on Quality Street in Dysart, Fife.
The evaluation followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by Fife Council and Fife Council Archaeology Unit. This condition required that the proposed development area be systematically assessed for archaeological remains by the placement of a series of evaluation trenches. The evaluation was to be completed in advance of the proposed development and the results used to inform this.
The archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of 4 evaluation trenches across the footprint of the proposed development. Excavation of the trenches revealed a small number of negatively cut features which proved to be modern in date. The trenches revealed the site to have been heavily terraced, with the natural subsoil shown to be a fine grain sand. ARCHAS Ltd recommend that the archaeological condition can be accepted as met and that Fife Council can discharge this part of the Planning Condition.
