An archaeological watching brief was carried out on land proposed for a new house. The site lies within the B-listed former walled garden at Ballindean.The bedding for two former paths of the Victorian walled garden, with adjacent drains, were uncovered. A modern pit was also found. Beneath the topsoil was an earlier ground surface, likely to be cultivation soil/ploughsoil, containing domestic refuse from manuring of the fields. One sherd of pottery was recovered.No other features of archaeological interest were recorded.
