Abstract: |
Twenty-six evaluation trenches were mechanically excavated to a cumulative length of 613m providing a c.5% sample of the site. The positions of most of the trenches were based on the results of a previous geophysical survey of the site. A number of archaeological features were encountered, excavated and recorded. Most were ditches/gullies, with some pits and post-holes, as well as limited remains of a farmhouse known to have occupied part of the site since at least the 19th century. Dating evidence from the features was extremely sparse, but suggests prehistoric activity in the area represented by the remains of a field system(s), possibly realigned at some point, perhaps after the construction of adjacent Stane Street. Geological features of potential geoarchaeological significance were identified during the geoarchaeological work, and were partially investigated in two of the evaluation trenches. |
