Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology in relation to a new school development at Roslin Primary School, Roslin, Midlothian. The excavation covered the area of the proposed building footprint, measuring circa 3000 m2, currently the school playing fields. Within the excavation area a probable prehistoric palisade ditch, as well as 20 related pit features were revealed. The vast majority of the pits were out with the palisade and were covered by a possible medieval plough soil. Several of the pits contained charcoal, with six of the features also containing prehistoric pottery and probable stone tools. The presence of these features indicates that the school playing fields were the probable site of a former prehistoric settlement. Along with the known Fort and cist to the S of the excavation area, this information adds to our knowledge of prehistoric life in Roslin. It is recommended that no further on-site archaeological works are required. However, any post excavation works will be decided by Mr. Andrew Robertson of East Lothian Council Archaeology Service (ELCAS) who advise Midlothian Council on archaeological matters.
