Watching briefs were kept during the excavation of three stretches of a trench, roughly 5km long, for a new 33kV underground power line. The fieldwork was carried out in several stages between October 2008 and June 2009. Two stretches, NN 78644 48353 – NN 78932 48146 and NN 78966 48092 – NN 78994 47751 near Comrie Bridge, passed close to cropmark sites, while the short stretch of NN 77276 45807 – NN 77228 45765 cut across the edge of a mound at Mains of Taymouth. The mound (NN74NE 48) proved to be of glacial origin. Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded in any part of the trench.
