Oxford Archaeology was commissioned in February 2006 to carry out a survey and an assessment of military trench systems at Barry Buddon Carnoustie, Angus. The trench systems were previously identified and plotted from aerial photography by Major Guy Taylor. OA was asked to check this work on the ground and to digitise the results. A detailed metric survey was carried out of the large and well preserved trench system at the east end of Barry Ridge. Other trench systems identified by Guy Taylor were examined and sketch plotted on the ground.
The survey revealed that the main area of trenches may be Great War in origin but was re-used during or immediately before the Second World War. It also demonstrated that the trenches on the western edge of the ridge were probably Second World War (or slightly earlier) in origin.
