Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological works on a development site at 81-87 High Street (formerly occupied by the First Group Bus depot), Linlithgow, West Lothian. The work was required to meet a planning condition (0249/FUL/11) placed on a proposed sheltered housing development. A desk-based assessment highlighted the archaeological potential of the site due to its location in the centre of the medieval burgh of Linlithgow. Map evidence showed that the development area occupied much of two burgage plots and including their frontage on the High Street and part of one other. Excavation revealed the truncated remains of walls and pits on the frontage. Variable depths of glacio-fluvial deposits were present, rising on the northern and southern areas of site. In the central part of site loam deposits, containing medieval pottery, survived to a depth of up to 1.5m. Several pits dating to the medieval period were present beneath the loam, and largely cut into interface with geological deposits. Features included probable quarry pits backfilled with midden material and features possibly associated with industrial or craft processes.
