Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Glenrath Farm Ltd in respect to a proposed commercial development at Blyth Bank Farm, Blyth Bridge, Peebles, Scottish Borders. The proposed development at Blyth Bank Farm will include the construction of a number of large poultry sheds with associated access roads and landscaping works within existing arable farmland. The footprint of each shed was evaluated through the excavation of five trenches totalling approximately 450 m2. Overall 25 trenches totalling approximately 2250 m2 were excavated. The majority of the trenches contained no archaeological features and only a few lithic artefacts were identified from the topsoil. The features identified included a ruinous presumed sheepfold and a relict field boundary. The small unstratified lithic assemblage contained a microlith micro-scraper and a narrow blade. No features or artefacts associated or contemporary with 'Longstruther', an 18th century village which once lay in the local area, were uncovered during the works. |
