Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Mr. and Mrs. Smith on the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) of Campwood (Scheduled 1995, Index No.1164), south of Mayfield, Midlothian (NGR: NT 3595 6380) which had recently been accidentally disturbed during the course of groundworks. A programme of archaeological works was required by Historic Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Ministers to restore the SAM to its original condition prior to the recent disturbance and to assess the extent and significance of the damage caused to the monument by the unauthorised groundworks. The archaeological works focussed on three main trenches, but covered only two main elements of the site - the outer enclosure bank and one of the inner enclosures. The outer bank varied in shape and size around its length but this is certainly due to varying levels of truncation and erosion. From the existing evidence, the bank appears to have been built in a uniform manner, comprising a foundation layer of flat stones, overlain by a series of larger stones and sealed by a clay matrix. |
