A watching brief was maintained during topsoil stripping in advance of extraction at Powmyre Sand and Gravel Quarry, Glamis in order to satisfy a condition of the planning concent. This was performed as additional works to Phase 1 of the quarrying operations. An area of 120 x 180 x 100m was stripped during the additional works to Phase 1. A total of nine archaeologically interesting features were recorded. These consisted of three NE-SW aligned pits that continued a sequence recorded in previous work, two groups of pits and postholes and some isolated features.
