Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in relation to a proposed residential development at three co-joining plots of land at Roxburgh Street and Union Street, Kelso, The Scottish Borders. The evaluation required a 10% trenching sample of the 1800 m2 development area. Due to the presence of known and unknown services, an area containing asbestos, an area of reinforced concrete and parked cars, it was not possible to excavate the full 180 m2 as required. A total of 7 trenches of varying lengths and alignments were excavated totalling 81 m2 (total basal dimensions). All of the areas consisted of type 1 gravel overlying made ground which lay directly over the natural subsoil. A large pit was found within Trench 4 that may relate to earlier medieval activity on the site but the full extents could not be excavated due to its size and depth. |
