Abstract:
A programme of archaeological works was undertaken on land adjacent to West Burn Lane, St. Andrews. The programme comprised a desk-based assessment and an evaluation by means of trial trenching . The location has an extensive history, with the Lane previously forming an important route into the historic burgh. Map evidence shows the site densely developed by the 16th century. The evaluation revealed the site to be significantly disturbed by modern development, with levelling deposits and the foundations of buildings dating from the 19th century exposed. However, beneath these, intact medieval deposits have been preserved in situ. A boundary ditch and pit were identified, sealed by a former garden soil layer up to 0.4m in depth which contained 12th-16th century pottery.
