Archaeology Notes

NT07NW 147 00471 77307

NT 005 774 A watching brief was conducted between September 2001 and February 2002 on all groundbreaking works during the construction of an extension to Lowport Primary School (built 1897). Made ground to the N of the school appeared to be at least as old as the school building but maybe older. A small assemblage of medieval/late medieval pottery was retrieved from these landscaping deposits. To the S of the school the made ground deposits were modern. No features of archaeological significance or in situ artefacts were uncovered. (AOC 3486)
