Information from RCAHMS (DE) 11 March 1996

NO 5139 1644 An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of the development of an extension to the science building at St Leonard's School, St Andrews. The site lies within the medieval abbey precinct, close to part of the SW precinct wall. Five test pits were cut to investigate sub-surface deposits. Excavation revealed that the area was much disturbed by modern pipe and cable trenches. No in situ archaeological deposits were located, although medieval and post-medieval potsherds were found.

Sponsor: St Leonard's School.
