NJ 236 621 A programme of evaluation works was undertaken in February 2006 by AOC Archaeology Group on the site of a proposed residential development site at Reiket Lane, Elgin. Aerial photography had identified a number of cropmarks, indicating the possibility of archaeology within the development area. 23 trenches were machine-excavated (7% of the total area) but revealed no archaeological remains. The trenches revealed a large number of field drains in the southernmost of the two fields.
