Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching near Humbie Farm, Kirkliston NT 11037 74756 (centred), to assess the presence/absence of archaeological features in an area identified as having 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 4 trenches (256m2) were excavated comprising a 5% sample of the land parcel. The trenches were excavated on 31st march 2011 and were sited to ensure good spatial coverage of the area under investigation, although constraints to the layout were imposed due to a gas main running through the middle of the field. The trial trenching revealed a number of rubble filled field drains relating to the pre-modern agricultural activity on site. A modern ditch was also recorded but no other features of archaeological interest were encountered. |
