Abstract: |
Due to the potential for surviving archaeology associated with the medieval precinct of Kelso Abbey and cellars perhaps dating to the late medieval and early modern town to survive within the development area, an archaeological watching brief was undertaken by GUARD Archaeology Ltd during ground investigation test pits/trenches and boreholes at his site within the centre of Kelso. Two areas were examined to the north-west and south-east of the public toilets between Horsemarket and Woodmarket. The ground investigation test pits reached no deeper than 1 m below the current ground surface on the north-west side and no deeper than 0.5 m on the south-east side. On the south-eastern side, one borehole reached a depth of 5 m and on the north-western side two boreholes reached a maximum depth of 2 m. The ground investigation works encountered only modern made ground and natural subsoil. No significant archaeological deposits or artefacts were encountered. |
