Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching near Overton Farm, Kirkliston NT 11349 74311 (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 11 trenches (1700m2) were excavated between the 28th May and the 13th of April 2011 comprising a 5% sample of the land parcel. The trial trenching revealed a curvilinear ditch around which a larger area (600 m2) was opened to reveal its full extent. This small feature is of post medieval date and may reflect small-scale agricultural or industrial activity date. Evidence of pre-modern agricultural activity on site was revealed in the form of furrows and a drainage ditch. No other features of archaeological interest were encountered. |
