Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to a proposed residential development at Ravelrig Wynd, Balerno, Edinburgh. The development area totalled 0.76 ha but approximately half the site was covered by protected trees; thus land available for trial trenching amounted to 0.38 ha. The archaeological evaluation comprised excavation of a 10% trenching sample, equating to 380 m2. In total seven trenches were excavated with the two along the south-western boundary both revealing a typical greenfield section of topsoil over natural subsoil. The remaining trenches all contained layers of compacted hardcore, temporary service ducts, building debris, fencing, cabling and general detritus. No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered during the evaluation. Lindsay Dunbar (AOC Archaeology Group) 2011 |
