Archaeological Evaluation (21 September 2006)
NO 48890 13865 We undertook an archaeological deskbased assessment and walkover survey on the site of a proposed golf course at Feddinch Mains. The site was mostly greenfield, with 98ha of agricultural land surrounding a cluster of disused farm buildings, 2km S of St Andrews. The survey was conducted on 21 September 2006 in varying weather conditions. Sites included a B-listed farmhouse and adjacent steading, a former railway line and station, quarries, an old road line, a possible building platform and two cropmarks, one possibly indicating an enclosure. The DBA and walkover were followed by an archaeological evaluation on the site on 13-15 December 2006. Seven 1.5m wide and 50m long trenches were machine dug under archaeological supervision, across areas with potential. No archaeological features were discovered in any of the evaluation trenches.
