Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd carried out an archaeological watching brief for Sustrans Ltd on construction of a cycle path at Abercorn through the Hopetoun Estate, West Lothian in order to satisfy a condition of planning consent. The archaeological work was carried out during August 2010; it was curated by the West of Scotland Archaeological Service (WoSAS) who advise West Lothian Council on archaeological matters. Monitoring took place at all areas of ground level reduction. The main area of excavation was the 130m length of 2m wide cycle path constructed within a cutting. This ran just outside the kirkyard wall of Abercorn Church, the site of an Anglian monastery of the 7th century. Two additional trenches totaling 250m2 were excavated to gain material for the construction of banking, these revealed no archaeological evidence. Evidence of medieval activity in the area was in the form of deposits of midden material tipped down a steep hill, alongside pottery found in the topsoil. The archaeological monitoring also revealed evidence of the alteration of the landscape during the construction and subsequent changes to the designed landscape of Hopetoun House.
