Description
Fieldwalking was carried out in fields at Seafield West (Stoneyfield) by the Centre for Field Archaeology in 1996 in advance of the construction of a proposed business and retail park. The survey was confined to areas desginated for geophysical survey based on grids of 10 x 10m. Additional fieldwalking was carried out along transects. <1>
The subsequent report <1> does not give any details as to whether any artefacts were recovered from this exercise although an analysis of the finds from previous fieldwalking in 1985-6 (see EHG1581) was carried out.
