Archaeology Notes

NO66NW 50 6074 6576 to 6098 6584

A review of the evidence now suggests that the two best defined lines are possibly a pit-defined cursus.

RCAHMS: The Archaeological Sites and Monuments of Central Angus

Inchbare 2 NO 607 657 to 609 658 NO66NW

Cropmarks reveal at least four lines of pits running from WSW to ENE across the field to the NE of Inchbare. The two best-defined lines are set about 25m apart and are visible for a distance of about 200m. The third, whose alignment diverges slightly towards the ENE, lies between 6m and 16m to the S, and the fourth lies a further 20m to the S.

Archaeological Evaluation (22 July 2020)

A programme of archaeological investigative works was carried out for Stracathro Estates in support of proposed development at Inchbare, Edzell in Angus by Rathmell Archaeology. The works tested the archaeological potential of the area to inform on any appropriate mitigation of impact.

The works consisted of an intrusive sample by trenching, carried on the 22nd of June 2020. Eight trenches were excavated within the development area with no significant archaeological remains identified during the works. As a result, no further archaeological works are recommended.
