NN 9010 3679 (centred on) An evaluation was undertaken 2–3 December 2009 on the site of a proposed new bridge over the River Braan at Amulree. The site is just E of the historic Amulree bridge and was considered to be of interest as it includes the site of a historic ford and possibly the lost
site of St Mary’s Chapel, which is located somewhere to the N of the river.
Evaluation trenches on the N side of the river revealed that a ramp of redeposited natural sandy gravel leading from the A822 down to the river was probably 19th-century in date. Trenches on the S side of the river recorded only natural deposits of silt, gravel and a compact stony layer. Nothing relating to the historic ford or the site of St Mary’s Chapel
was recorded.
