NO53SW 62 5292 3403
Site recorded during an archaeological evaluation carried out prior to proposed road improvements, through a combination of desk-based research, non-invasive and invasive fieldwork.
NO 5292 3403 Cotside West. The right angle of what appears to be a large rectangular ditched feature was revealed on level ground below a raised beach. This ditch was 1.5m wide by 0.6m deep. Two sherds of 13th to 14th-century medieval pottery, of a type rare on the N shore of the Tay, were retrieved from this feature.
Detailed reports will be lodged with the NMRS.

NO 5292 3403 Cotside West. A trench measuring 25 x 15m exposed more of a putative medieval rectangular ditched enclosure. Only the SW part of the enclosure was exposed, and neither its width nor length was determined (although its exposed dimensions were 6m N-S by 15m E-W). The enclosure was defined principally by two heavily plough-truncated parallel ditches, and a break for an entrance was present on the W side. No internal features were identified. Medieval pottery was recovered from the inner ditch fill, as well as a shard of glass.
NO 5292 3403 - NO 5428 3442 Barry Bypass. Twenty-five trial trenches excavated along the road corridor produced no evidence of archaeological remains.
Reports have been lodged with the NMRS.
