Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd carried out a watching brief on enabling works undertaken in advance of road improvements along the M8 motorway between Baillieston Interchange and Shawhead Junction close to Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. The watching brief was undertaken in order to identify and record any archaeological remains that might be exposed by the enabling works at Shawhead Junction. The work was commissioned by Forkers Ltd, the Contractor, and a specification was agreed with Historic Scotland. The ground works at the A8/A725 Shawhead Junction, Coatbridge comprised topsoil stripping of discrete areas located to the south-east of the junction to provide compound areas and associated access tracks. The ground works exposed the clay geological subsoil in many areas along with evidence of 19th/20th century disturbance associated with the coal mining industry that was prevalent in this area at the time. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were uncovered during the works. D Wilson 2013. |
