Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Milrig Farm (Land Parcel 20), NGR: NT 11739 74106. The aim of the work was to determine the presence or absence of archaeological features and to record the nature, character and extent of any features encountered. The work was commissioned by Transport Scotland, managed by Jacobs Arup and undertaken in advance of the proposed Forth Replacement Crossing (FRC). Twelve trenches totalling 940m² were excavated across two fields either side of Niddry Burn. The field to the south of the burn had been recently ploughed; to the north of the burn was rough pasture, sloping downhill from a woodland at Lindsay's Crags. A line of large rounded stones was found in one of the trenches towards the base of the slope, running east to west. This corresponds with the line of a former bank of the burn, which is clearly visible as a landscape feature further to the east. No walls are shown on any of the early Ordnance Survey maps of the area in this location and it is concluded that the stones represent the edge of the former course of the burn and have been naturally deposited. With the exception of field drains, no other archaeological features were found within the area evaluated.
