Archaeology Notes

NT18SW 255 1235 8133

The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Fife, 1855, sheet 39) depicts a breakwater at this location.

Information from RCAHMS (GJW) 20 February 2001.

An archaeological watching brief was maintained on the excavation for a pipeline in an area of ground formerly a natural bay with access to the Firth of Forth. Before land reclamation the area was used for the maritime movement of stone from nearby quarries.

NT 1235 8133 Pier.

Excavations revealed features relating to the area being used for the movement of stone in the form of trackways of gravel and concrete. The area has seen extensive tipping of waste, both industrial and domestic, from the 1920s to the 1970s.

A full report has been lodged with Fife SMR and the NMRS.
