NO 193 165 An evaluation was carried out in July 2002 prior to a housing development S and E of the new primary school in Abernethy, where archaeologically important remains had previously been identified (DES 2001, 74). Field drain systems were recognised, and also the scant remains of furrows belonging to rig and furrow cultivation from which a few sherds of medieval pottery were recovered. Features thought to be stake-holes were also tentatively identified.

NO 192 165 An evaluation comprising four trial trenches totalling 40m2 was conducted on the site of a proposed housing development between November 2001 and July 2002. The remains of a small kiln or oven containing two sherds of medieval pottery were found on the western side of the evaluation area, and these are likely to be contemporary with a medieval site located on the opposite side of Newburgh Road.
A watching brief conducted during the excavation of foundation and service trenches for the houses produced no further features of archaeological significance.
