Abstract:		 A new offshore wind farm is being developed 30km off the coast of Torness in the outer Forth Estuary. During the construction planning process, a number of sites in Midlothian were selected as potential onshore geological analogues for the proposed offshore development. Once the final site has been selected the developers will be able to test and refine the piling solutions to be used offshore. Site investigations were required to inform the final site selection. Consultation with ELCAS identified that the location of the site investigations at Newbigging Farm were in an archaeologically sensitive area. Previous evaluation works by CFA for a prior development uncovered a prehistoric cremation cemetery which lay c.50m from the area in which the site investigations were to take place. The cemetery contained four inverted cremation urns and a number of small contemporaneous pits containing sherds of prehistoric pottery as well as fragments of cremated bone. As mitigation during the previous development the cremation cemetery was preserved in situ. To prevent any damage occurring to the cemetery during the site investigation works the area of the cemetery was cordoned off and the operatives involved in the site investigations were informed of the significance of the area. A watching brief was also requested on any ground breaking that was required apart from the actual borehole drilling. No archaeologically significant features or deposits were discovered during the required excavations.
