Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group were commissioned by RCAHMS to conduct an archaeological evaluation at the cursus monument that extends between the summits of Broomy Law and Black Mount, at the Melbourne crossroads to the northeast of Biggar, South Lanarkshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of a single trench located over the bank and ditch on the ENE side of the cursus, close to the southern terminal. In excavation trench evidence of the structure of the monument was revealed. The structural remains comprised a low broad bank with a turf core. A ditch extended along the exterior of the cursus bank. A shallow pit lay outside of the ditch. No artefacts or dating evidence was retrieved during the excavations.
