Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching near Overton Farm, Kirkliston (Land Parcel 18) NT 11134 74585 (centred), to assess the presence/absence of archaeological features in an area identified as having good potential in the Forth Replacement Crossing Environmental Assessment (Jacobs Arup, 2009). The work was commissioned by Transport Scotland, managed and monitored by Jacobs Arup and undertaken in advance of the proposed commencement of construction works. A total of 5 trenches (181 m2) were excavated comprising a 5% sample across two fields. The trenches were excavated on 26th May 2011 and were sited to ensure good spatial coverage of the area under investigation. The trial trenching revealed evidence of large scale infilling relating to the construction of the M9 to the north, along with a number of agricultural furrows. There were no other features of archaeological significance present. |
