In response to the threat posed by a forthcoming pipeline an archaeological excavation was carried out on a series of linear features identified from vertical aerial photographs at Elvanfoot, Strathclyde Region.
It was thought these features may represent the line of Roman road RR4 (NS91NE 31). A single trench was first opened over the linear features and this showed that the features were of recent origin.
Modern disturbance is clear from a number of modern dumps and cuts probably associated with the construction of the nearby A702 road.
Two other smaller trenches were opened in the area over some nearby linear cropmarks, again determined from aerial photographs and thought to relate to the Roman road. No archaeological features were located. Sponsor: Shell Chemicals UK.
