Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising the machine excavation of twenty-three machine trenches totalling 3,200 m2 was completed across the former site of the Brunton Wireworks, Inveresk, in advance of the proposed redevelopment of the site. The evaluation identified evidence for a system of underground flues associated with the Brunton Wireworks. Waster pits and residual ceramics associated with the Newbigging Pottery were also identified. No other significant archaeological features or artefacts were identified. A survey of the remains of the former wireworks was also made, which largely included former floor surfaces such as metal grills and brick paving with some metal machine footings still in place. |
