AOC Archaeology was commissioned by Gateside Design Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation ahead of the redevelopment of a land parcel at 2 Queen Anne Street, Dunfermline, Fife. The archaeological evaluation was carried out on the 21st September 2018.

A total of 15 linear metres was excavated within the land plot revealing a deposit of made ground 0.10m to 0.60m in depth. The made ground immediately overlaid a sloping natural boulder clay.

The evaluation revealed the brick and concrete foundations of a 19th-20th century building that formerly occupied the land plot. A small, disturbed, fragment of cobbled surface was also recorded abutting the foundations.

No significant archaeological features or material was observed.
