Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken of land off Edinburgh Road Holytown, North Lanarkshire, ahead of the construction of a proposed new residential development. A rapid desk-based study was carried out for the site, revealing that the site was located at a potentially important road junction, depicted on the earliest maps of the area. This, coupled with an apparent total lack of subsequent development meant that site was deemed to have archaeological potential. A site visit identified upstanding elements of possible post-medieval cultivation practices, preserved within its boundaries in the form of areas of rig and furrow. A total of 22 trenches were excavated across the site, only 5 of which contained any features or deposits of an archaeological nature, all of which comprised the remains of rig and furrow, preserved at the southerly extremes of the site. No further archaeological features or deposits of an archaeological nature were identified during the course of works which was thought to represent a genuine absence of below ground features within the monitored areas, rather than their destruction by outside influences.
