Details A watching brief was carried out by Wessex Archaeology in November 2022 during groundworks associated with construction of new accommodation blocks and a car park at Kinloss Barracks (NJ06SE0030). The works included test pits in the car park area (NJ06SE0140). The northern half of the area was disturbed by mid 20th century and later excavation and demolition material. Over the area modern topsoil overlay agricultural soils which directly overlie the natural sand substrate. Within the southeast corner of the strip area a stone wall foundation was recorded, measuring 1.8 m long east-west, on the top of the agricultural soils. Across the south of the area two parallel ditches were recorded running northwest-southeast across the site, each ditch measured 0.1 m deep into the natural substrate. They may represent either boundary enclosure ditches for a strip field or the remains of furrow bases across the site. The features were truncated by the disturbed area within the north of the site. No other features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance were identified.
