Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological excavation and watching brief undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA), and completed in March 2014, as part of a series of mitigation works at the Rusha Opencast facility, near Longford, West Lothian. An Archaeological Assessment was produced to support the planning application for the proposed development. This included a desk-based assessment and site visit, and recommended a programme of mitigation works.As part of the mitigation works a detailed topographic survey was carried out in 2012. A watching brief was also conducted the same year. Excavation was conducted on the site of a possible turf-and-stone-built structure within an area of proposed opencast quarrying. Two possible separate structures were identified, however, the surviving remains were so vestigial a confident interpretation was not possible
