Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted to undertake an archaeological evaluation at 90 Dean Road in Bo'ness in Falkirk Council area. The site is subject to a pre-planning application to Falkirk Council which has identified the potential of archaeological concerns affecting any proposed development. The site partly lies within the Antonine Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site and as such is considered an area of great archaeological significance. The official response to the pre-planning application from Falkirk Council required that a programme of archaeological evaluation be completed in advance of the proposed development. The archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of two evaluation trenches at the southern end of the site, running perpendicularly to the line of the Antonine Wall. The evaluation revealed the denuded remains of the large defensive bank known to lie on the northern side of the Antonine Wall ditch. This extended around 5m into the proposed development area, the remainder of which was shown to be devoid of significant archaeological deposits or features. ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd recommend that no further archaeological mitigation be required on site. Any excavations at the southern end of the development area are not expected to disturb the remains of the upcast bank, while no structures will be built directly overlying the recorded remains to impinge upon the line of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Area. |
