NO 72 58 A programme of watching briefs were undertaken as part of the upgrading of the Montrose and Ferryden waste water network. Four areas were monitored - Montrose Airfield (NMRS NO75NW 31), the Infirmary to Ferry Street, Rossie Island and Ferryden. The watching brief on the airfield, one of the oldest in the UK, recovered artefacts and structures from WW2, including a dump of gas masks, helmets and water bottles.

Sponsor: North of Scotland Water Authority.
