Hmmm...soutterains and the North East of Scotland rings a bell. I'm sure a few have come to light, excavated by the Scottish Units {AUP } but whether they are directly related to road projects I can't be sure off the top of my head. The A92 widening (Carnoustie to Arbroath) from a few years ago may have something, was a rich Iron Age record. I've excavated a souterrain near north of Arbroath but as above, wasn't part of a road scheme.
Perhaps also the M1 widening to Ballygawly (Northern Ireland), that also turned up some very nice Iron Age negative features but I was only privvy to the evaluation ...apologies for being so vague, my mind isn't what it used to be!
