Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Barratt Homes Ltd ahead of the extension to an existing residential development, Burdiehouse Phase 3). The works consisted of a metal detecting survey and 10% samples of 8.3ha, equating to some 4,200 linear metres of trenching. Due to onsite restrictions, trenching was severely restricted, with a total of 1,900 linear metres achieved. Trenching revealed a possible quarry bowl or natural hollow filled in with red blaize material to depths of 2m. No further significant archaeological material was recovered during the excavation. The metal detecting survey revealed Given the paucity of material from the potential quarry bowl, no further works are considered necessary. |
