NO 506 153. A lynchet, formerly the boundary between Pipelands and Balbeildie, was removed by NE Fife District Council. Prior to removal the lynchet was surveyed, and a trench excavated through the highest part. The lynchet was found to have been originally a free-standing wall of coursed stones, set on a levelled platform of small stones in a foundation trench. The few finds were unstratified, and the date of construction remains unknown. Pollen was absent from the samples examined. There was no opportunity to watch the removal of the lynchet.

Watching Brief (4 December 2007 - 17 January 2008)
NO 5030 1530 (centred on) The watching brief was carried out between 4 December 2007–17 January 2008 in poor weather. The removal of topsoil was monitored during the construction of the new Community Hospital. The site revealed few features of archaeological interest apart from extensive evidence of medieval rig and furrow, which ran mainly on a N/S alignment.
