Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Dalmeny, South Queensferry, NT 13906 77155 (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 16 trenches (1506m2) were excavated comprising a 5% sample across two fields. The evaluation was conducted between 31st March and 1st April 2011. Trenches were sited to ensure good spatial coverage across all of Land Parcel 14. The trial trenching revealed furrows relating to the pre-modern agricultural activity on site. No other features of archaeological interest were encountered. |
