This report represents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on the site of a proposed extension to Invergowrie Primary School, Invergowrie, Perth and Kinross. The archaeological evaluation was originally designed around a 6% trenching sample (900 m²). However, approximately one third of the site was unavailable for evaluation at this time, as the land parcel was in the process of being purchased by Perth and Kinross Council. This led to a revised trenching sample (720 m²) being undertaken, after consultation with Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT). No archaeologically significant finds or features were encountered, although there was evidence of recent activity in the form of rubble field drains, modern pits and post-holes and two linear features of unknown function. A cinder path was also revealed running east to west along the northern half of the site.
