A9 Dualling Programme: Pass of Birnam to Glen Garry - Stage 3 (OASIS ID: aocarcha1-287019)

AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Jacobs UK Limited (hereafter Jacobs), on behalf of Transport Scotland with Perth and Kinross Council as the Curator, to undertake an archaeological geophysical (gradiometer) survey to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains along the proposed A9 Dualling Southern Section (from NO 00252 47094 to NN 94600 56785). A total of thirteen parcels of land were outlined for geophysical survey, covering an area of approximately 16.05 hectares. Three parcels were located in arable fields, with another in scrub land and the rest on grazed pasture, some containing livestock. The results of the survey located a number of discrete trends and anomalies that are likely to be archaeological in origin. These include some rectilinear and curvilinear trends that could represent enclosures, as well as some pit like features.
