Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken prior to the construction of a retail development at 242 Main Street, East Calder, West Lothian (Planning Reference No. 0177/FUL/12), (NGR; NT 08440 67837). The area (0.8 ha) was subject to a 10.0% sample evaluation to comprise 60.0 linear metres. However the presence of numerous live services restricted the current works to 40.0 linear metres. The evaluation revealed a circular stone well of probable medieval/post-medieval date constructed of un-bonded rectangular sandstone. The well was known to local residents and had apparently been discovered during the construction of the Public House car-park which currently occupies the site. The well had been covered by a metal drain cover and is currently in a good state of preservation. Given the presence of the well and the restrictions placed on the current evaluation by the presence of live services further works are considered necessary. |
