Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken as part of pre-planning works for a possible development at Redhouse West, Blackburn, West Lothian. The evaluation required an 8% trenching sample of the available development area. A total of 23 trenches of varying lengths and alignments were excavated encountering N-S aligned agricultural furrows and associated rubble drains. Two trenches were placed across an open ditch in the southern edge of the development area that was formerly a mill lade powering the Hopefield Mills to the east. The trenches revealed that any stone that may have lined the channel had been robbed out. Furthermore, since the lade was blocked off from the river to the west and left to silt up, all that remained of it was the ditch with turf and stone banks on either side. Throughout the majority of the site no significant archaeological features or artefacts were encountered. As the former mill lade has been robbed of stone and the ditch and banks recorded at either end of the development area, no further works are considered necessary within these areas. Where the development impacts the edge of the former mill buildings, further archaeological works will be required.
