Abstract: |
This project involved a metal-detecting survey, 52 evaluation trenches and a watching brief which included the monitoring of 13 trenches and 13 test pits. The metal-detecting survey was carried to recover any metal material that may be related to the Scottish retreat from the nearby Battlefield site of Pinkie (1547). The metal-detecting survey recovered 417 finds, 9 of which were of archaeological significance, although none could be unequivocally attributed to the Battle of Pinkie. These included a late 17th-early 18th century coin, belt buckle fragments and a musket ball, the majority of the material recovered was related to more recent mining and agricultural activity. The evaluation revealed 42 features, of which 24 were related to mining activity and 18 features produced no datable evidence. A putative ring ditch cropmark was demonstrated to be a mining shaft. The watching brief areas revealed a further 7 features associated with mining activity. W. Bailie, A. Hunter-Blair GUARD Archaeolog Ltd. 2011. |
