Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken at land to the north-east of Winchburgh, West Lothian. The excavation revealed the remains of a sub-circular, double-ditched enclosure of later prehistoric date. The evidence from the fills of the inner ditch indicates there was a large stone wall or rampart inside the inner ditch. The only evidence of internal features was two pits or post holes located in the southern half of the enclosure. There was no evidence of re-cutting of the ditches and the lack of extensive silting prior to the incorporation of the stone wall or rampart into the fill of the ditch suggests a relatively short duration for the life of the site.
