Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by DTA Chartered Architects Ltd on behalf of Bothwell Property Development Company in respect of the residential development between Old Bothwell Road, Bothwell and the River Clyde (NGR NS708 578). The archaeological investigative works consisted of a metal detector survey and an intrusive evaluation. The metal detector survey was designed to cover 100% of the available ground within the development area which had the potential to contain material relating to the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. Although several contacts were investigated the only material recovered related to the modern use of the site and the surrounding landscape. The evaluation works were designed to assess an 8% sample of the proposed development area. All of the trenches excavated reached archaeologically sterile natural soil and all potential archaeological features were examined. All features uncovered in the evaluation works related to the modern use of the site. The eastern boundary of the site contained sufficient depths of made ground to ensure that this area could only be partially examined. No significant archaeological remains were located within the development area. The results of the archaeological work indicates that no activity relating to the Battle of Bothwell Bridge exists within the development area and no material culture other than that which relates to the 20th century use of the site was uncovered during the archaeological works |
