NO 30067 30270 A trial trenching evaluation was carried out on 27 March 2013 prior to development. A total of six trenches, covering 219m2 (c9%) of the area, were excavated. One of the trenches contained a ditch with a later recut. The ditch was found on the projected alignment of a boundary ditch of the Longforgan/Greenbourne Roman Temporary Camp. However, the ditch does not form the classic V-shape defensive ditch, which has been recorded at other Roman camps and on a previous A90 excavation. The recut was noted in the upper fills.
