Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation consisting of 57 trenches was carried out in three fields at Raw Holdings, East Calder, West Lothian. A curvilinear feature and two linear features associated with drainage and a deep infill layer consisting of coal and shale possibly deriving from the construction of the nearby nineteenth century Camps Branch railway line were recorded in the north field. Numerous tile and rubble field drains were encountered and remnants of rig and furrow cultivation. A curvilinear feature and two linear features associated with drainage and a deep infill layer consisting of coal and shale possibly deriving from the construction of the nearby nineteenth century Camps Branch railway line were recorded in the north field. Further drains were identified in the west field. Three mounds identified during a walk-over survey located towards the north-western edge of the field were found to be heaps of topsoil of probable recent date. In the south-west corner of the site spreads of brick and rubble were found and may represent remnants of demolished structures associated with a former market garden known to have occupied this part of the site. No artefacts were recovered from any of the features excavated during the course of the work.
