Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Castlandhill House, NT 12041 81844 (centred), to assess the presence/absence of archaeological features in an area identified as having good archaeological potential in the Forth Replacement Crossing Environmental Statement (Jacobs Arup, 2009). The work was commissioned by Transport Scotland, managed and monitored by Jacobs Arup and undertaken in advance of the proposed commencement of construction works. A total of 5 trenches (84.75m2) were excavated comprising a 2.3% sample across the area. A small building was found in the south-eastern corner of the site. The trench was extended in order to identify the limits of the building, which established that it was rectangular in shape and had associated external features. The building is depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1856 and is the southern gate lodge associated with the Castlandhill House to the north. |
