Archaeological Evaluation (28 July 2014 - 6 August 2014)
GUARD Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Barratt Homes West to carry out an archaeological evaluation on an area proposed for residential development at East Overton, Strathaven, South Lanarkshire. The evaluation was required in order to comply with a planning condition attached to the application to develop (Planning Application EK/12/0003). While the remains of rig and furrow cultivation were encountered in every trench, no other significant archaeological features were uncovered during the evaluation. A cropmark noted on aerial photographs of the site was investigated, but was found to be non-archaeological in origin.
