A monitored topsoil strip was carried out in advance of quarrying at Powmyre Quarry. The features identified consisted of a burnt spread, twenty-one pits, two linear gullies and a curvilinear gully. The pits were predominantly located within areas of sandy subsoil and some of them may represent evidence of earlier sand and gravel quarrying. Two sherds of medieval pottery, a post-medieval clay pipe stem and a fragment of a cast-iron vessel were recovered from one of the pits. The curvilinear gully was only partially uncovered, but appeared to have been excavated around the edge of a low-lying hollow containing poorly draining grey clay. It is possible that it represents the remains of an enclosure, but the limits of this programme of works meant that this could not be proven. The two linear gullies within the curvature of the curvilinear gully are likely to have an agricultural origin. A single sherd of white glazed pottery was identified within one of the linear features, but there were no artefacts of archaeological significance recovered.
