Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken during construction of a natural gas pipeline between Calfhill and Newhouses in the Scottish Borders. A watching brief during the removal of topsoil and trench excavation was carried out by archaeological personnel from Land and Marine Project Engineering. A number of sites were revealed including early modern clearance cairns, ditch, pits and track-way, late medieval / early modern rig and furrow, a probable prehistoric pit, and deep peat deposits. A number of unstratified finds were recovered dating mainly to the 18th and 19th centuries. Flint fragments where also recovered but helped little in dating any of the above features. Excavations were conducted by staff from Land and Marine Project Engineering and CFA Archaeology Ltd. |
