Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Milrig Farm, Kirkliston (Land Parcel 17) NT 11008 74636 (centred), to assess the presence/absence of archaeological features in an area identified as having good archaeological potential in the Forth Replacement Crossing Environmental Statement (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 (357m2) were excavated comprising a 5% sample across a single field. The trenches, excavated on 30th march 2011, were sited to ensure good spatial coverage of the area under investigation. The trial trenching revealed a small number of rubble filled field drains relating to the pre-modern agricultural activity on site. A modern test pit was also recorded but no other features of archaeological interest were encountered. |
