Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken on land to the north of Carnwath Cemetery in response to an application for planning consent for an extension to the cemetery. A number of prehistoric finds have been made in the area and there was some potential for the discovery of buried remains. Five features were recorded in Trench 3: three small possible postholes and two pits. The largest pit was 0.9m in diameter, 0.23m deep and was filled with charcoal rich silt. Subsequently an area measuring 40m by 23m was opened centred on these features. This revealed a series of charcoal rich irregular features within a linear band of mottled brown sand, apparently heavily disturbed by roots. These features have been interpreted as a burnt out hedge line. Finds of white china and green glass were recovered from two of these features. The only other features were a posthole and an adjacent pit both filled with similar charcoal-rich material. The pit appeared to have been enlarged through root action and may have a similar origin to the pits described above. The posthole did not form part of a structure. Two lithics were also recovered from the site; one while cleaning and the other from the section: these have been dated to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
