Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Dundas Castle Farms, NT 1163 7757 (centred), to assess the presence/absence of archaeological features in an area identified as having good 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 28 trenches (2716m2) were excavated comprising a 5% sample across two fields. Trenches were sited to ensure good spatial coverage while avoiding a BP pipeline and overhead power line which ran across the south of the land parcel. The trial trenching revealed ditches and furrows relating to the pre-modern agricultural activity on site along with a small number of field drains. A small area of stones was recorded in Trench 17 also related to pre-modern agricultural activity. No other features of archaeological interest were encountered.
