Abstract: |
A programme of monitoring was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd. at Burgh Halls, Linlithgow as Stage 2 of the archaeological works being carried out during refurbishment of the Burgh Halls and construction of a rear extension by West Lothian Council. The garden area to the rear lies within a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM No. 90201). The groundworks exposed a number of deposits and features of archaeological significance. Within the footprint of Burgh Halls a 15th century Jeton was recovered, associated with soil deposits in which wall remains were recorded. In the garden area to the rear, the remains of two possible basement rooms were revealed; one of which was backfilled with a deposit containing 15th century pottery. These structural remains may relate to either the almshouse or school known to exist on the site. |
