A9 Dualling Programme: Tay Crossing To Ballinluig

CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) undertook archaeological mitigation works by the excavation of borehole inspection pits and test-pits during the advanced ground investigation, for the A9 Dualling. The section monitored was between Tay Crossing and Ballinluig, Perth and Kinross.

In the end twelve borehole inspection pits (TBB) and thirty one test-pits (TBT) were monitored during the site investigation works. A number of the interventions that were monitored were not initially identified as requiring monitoring, however, the Monitoring Archaeologist was on-site so the opportunity was taken to record them.

No archaeological features, deposits or finds were identified during the watching brief and no upstanding archaeological remains were identified at any of the site investigation locations that were checked.
