Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation for Page and Plant Ltd on behalf of their client ahead of development of land at Linburn, Kirknewton, West Lothian. A total of seven evaluation trenches were excavated with a total area of 324m2 were excavated in the 0.3ha proposed development area representing slightly over a 10% sample. The evaluation revealed a simple stratigraphic sequence of thin topsoil overlying sandy clay glacial till subsoil. Archaeological features identified during the evaluation included a shallow ditch running north-east/south-west, likely the remains of a canalised water course depicted on historic mapping in the 18th century, along with a number of rubble and ceramic field drains.
