Watching Brief (5 July 2017 - 29 September 2017)
An archaeological watching brief was maintained on work to lay an electric cable between Coupar Angus substation and Tullymurdoch wind farm, via Welton of Creuchies wind farm. The development area was a linear corridor approximately 19km in length, running generally N/NE from Coupar Angus to finish in an upland area W of Alyth. The requirement was to monitor all soil stripping and excavation in the vicinity of several archaeological sites, pre-identified by a walkover survey conducted in 2015 by AOC Archaeology Ltd and ARCUS Archaeological Consultants. Archaeological features exposed included a group of pits, postholes and possible fires/hearths close to an unexcavated souterrain and other settlement remains.
