Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required on the Scheduled Monument (SM) of Nine Stone Rig (Scheduled 1987, Index No.4423), south of Garvald, East Lothian which had recently been accidentally disturbed during the course of groundworks. This disturbance included the displacement of a stone. This programme of archaeological works was requested by Historic Scotland to restore the SM to its original condition prior to the recent disturbance and to assess the extent and significance of the damage caused to the monument by the unauthorised groundworks. The archaeological works focussed on a single evaluation trench, over the area of disturbance, through the central area of the monument. The trench measured 2.8 m by 2.5 m in plan, and was up to 0.25 m in depth. The trench was excavated through 0.25 m of redeposited material comprising peat and turf. The evaluation revealed that the monument was built into natural gravel. The trench found the central area of the stone circle to be sterile of any features. Nearby the probable socket of the displaced stone was located and the stone re-placed. Neither previously unknown features nor artefacts were identified. |
