Abstract: |
Following the completion of an initial archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in January 2017 further works consisting of a monitored top-soil strip and limited excavation were carried out prior to a residential development on land next to Newmills Road, Balerno, Edinburgh (NT 1650 6730). The works involved the monitored top-soil stripping of a targeted area measuring 10,200 m2 concentrated on the slope in the northern corner of the site where the evaluation had revealed four pits and two ditch features. The top-soil strip revealed a further 14 features including pits and the truncated remains of a later prehistoric ring-groove roundhouse. Two body-sherds of undecorated prehistoric ceramics were recovered from a single pit fill. Due to the presence of prehistoric activity within the development area it is recommended that a limited post-excavation research design (PERD) will be produced. The PERD will define the scope and scale of post-excavation works necessary to adhere the fieldwork findings, and to produce a final report suitable for publication. |
