Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology were commissioned to complete an Archaeological evaluation ahead of the proposed development of Aikengall II Windfarm in East Lothian. This was to be complimented by an assessment on site for the potential of archaeological environmental remains. Four trenches were to be excavated across two features identified previously. The first two trenches were opened across a possible drove road. Comparatively little that could be attributed to its original construction or early use was found. Most of the deposits encountered were considered evidence for wheel rutting of more recent times, likely relating to heavy machinery, tractors, etc. Potentially some of the features revealed could represent earlier cart ruts though the extent of the churning suggests heavy machinery. The two trenches across the banked enclosure proved it to be at least in part built from turf and of banked natural clays, apparently using local deposits to form the bank. Ditches identified on either side of the bank are likely to be the quarries for the material to construct the bank. The interior of the enclosure was shown in Trench 3 to contain some degree of surfacing or metalling. No artefactual materials were recovered to indicate age. The assessment of peat depths across site demonstrated these to be predominantly less than 0.30m in depth. While studies have shown such peatlands across East Lothian to contain excellent potential for unaltered paleoenvironmental environments, none have been noted within the development area directly affected by the Aikengall II development.
