Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in respect to a proposed development at Land East of Dalhousie Dairy, Bonnyrigg, Midlothian (centred on NGR: NT321 651). The evaluation was undertaken within a single land parcel of 1.8 ha. A 5% (500 linear metres) sample of the evaluation area was investigated by trial trenching. The scope of the works was agreed in a WSI approved by East Lothian Archaeological Service (ELCAS). The evaluation successfully revealed modern disturbance and deposition in the form of a shallow pit and a made ground bank, both likely in association with service and road works in the vicinity. A single truncated furrow was located along with frequent field drains. The evaluation also revealed that the entire site area had undergone significant truncation due to heavy ploughing. No archaeologically significant small finds were recovered during the evaluation. |
