Abstract:		 This report presents the results of phase two of an archaeological watching brief on the groundbreaking works associated with upgrading the Talla Aquaduct at Blyth Bridge, Scottish Borders (NT 129 447 - NT 128 455 - NT 132 463). Phase one of the project was carried out in 2011 and involved the excavation of 20 test pits which revealed no significant archaeological remains or artefacts. This second phase required the stripping of topsoil from a 20m wide track over a distance of 3.5km for the construction of a way-leave. An archaeological watching brief was conducted on all ground breaking works associated with this project. The area was mostly free of any significant archaeological features or artefacts producing only four unstratified finds of struck chert to the north of the project and a single isolated cut feature discovered to the south of the Tarth Burn. This feature was a probable stone line charcoal making pit, partially revetted into the hill-slope
