Abstract: |
A site inspection was carried out on an area disturbed by vehicle wheels on the northern slope of Arthur's Seat c 100m above Dunsapie Loch on the naturally terraced eastern slope, to the W of the informal public pathway to the summit. The wheel ruts were inspected to see if there was any damage to any buried archaeology. The soft ground is a result of the poor drainage and has created a deep humic layer towards the top of the natural profile. This deposit has obscured any obvious signs of occupation activity at least to the depth observed in the wheel ruts, and there was no visible evidence of any significant archaeological features. |
