Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were commissioned by Tilhill Forestry to undertake an archaeological walkover survey during the planning stages of the Edston Woodland Creation Scheme near Peebles in the Scottish Borders. The proposed development site is an area of upland heather moorland and pasture overlooking the confluence of the Lyne Water and the River Tweed. Measuring around 60ha, the site is to be planted predominantly with Sitka spruce and mixed conifers. The walkover survey identified a total of four sites within the limits of the proposed development. These were all related to the agricultural use of the land. A Roman road had been recorded running along the eastern boundary of the proposed development area and while stretches of this road were identified, no remains were found to extend into the development area. ARCHAS recommend that the identified sites are avoided during planting with a suitable buffer put in place to ensure these are not damaged during the planting process. |
