Abstract:
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Scottish Borders Council to undertake a phased programme of works consisting of an archaeological evaluation, metal detecting survey and historic building recording in advance of the Selkirk Flood Prevention Scheme. The evaluation and metal detecting survey sought to locate physical evidence associated with the 17th century Battle of Philiphaugh (1645) and the Anglian and Medieval settlement at Philiphaugh within areas to be affected by the flood prevention works. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken on two locations at Old Mill Farm and Angles Field (Long Phillip Burn) and consisted of 375 linear metres positioned in agreement with the Scottish Borders Council Archaeology Service. The metal detecting survey found numerous artefacts although on inspection these were all found to be of modern date. The archaeological evaluation revealed no significant archaeological features or artefacts. Further archaeological works in the form of an archaeological watching brief are required. Access to the mill lade was very restricted at the time of survey given vegetation levels and general access. It is therefore recommended that a closer examination of the lade be made during the archaeological watching brief stage of the works.
