Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation over drains and services on the eastern and southern sides of Meadowbank Lodge. The excavation showed evidence of recent landscaping and drainage efforts in the form of levelling material and pipes. It seems likely that the property was constructed on an artificial terrace or platform over a massive dump of stone. These in turn probably represent measures to raise the property footings above naturally wet and boggy ground at the foot of the adjacent slope. There were no finds of archaeological significance. |
