Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed housing development within the former grounds of Harvieston House, Gorebridge, Midlothian was undertaken. The evaluation entailed 5% trial trenching of three fields. A number of wall bases and a stone culvert were recorded, all of these date to early phases of the Harvieston estate, most likely 18th Century. Several rubble field drains, furrows and other possible cultivation or drainage features were also recorded. There was very little evidence of activity predating the Harvieston estate apart from some ephemeral furrows. There was no evidence for prehistoric occupation on the site. |
