NT 005 872 An archaeological survey of the historic landscape of Valleyfield Wood, combining historical research and topographic survey with trial trenching, established the presence of a number of structures relating to the Repton designed gardens (c 1801). The information provides an overall picture of the development of the Valleyfield Estate, from initial conception through construction and use, to its present state of sad dereliction. This survey is part of an ongoing management programme by Fife Council to assess and preserve the Valleyfield landscape.
Sponsor: Fife Council.
