Details An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Scotia Archaeology during groundwork preparation prior to the building of five residential units at Queen's Close, Montrose. However, due to lack of space a topsoil strip was extended to trenches being dug under archaeological supervision. No features were recorded but three sherds of ceramics were recovered from the topsoil. One body sherd in a smooth, buff fabric with splash of yellow-green glaze may have come from a jug and be of late medieval date. Another sherd was from a thin, salt-glazed, stoneware vessel and another very small fragment in a buff fabric with a very heavy brown glaze, both probably of post-medieval date. The retrieval of three sherds of pottery strongly suggests that there was medieval and post-medieval activity in the vicinity.
