Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by JS Crawford Contracts Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological works consisting of a metal detecting survey and archaeological evaluation in advance of a new development at Abbotsford Road, Darnick, Scottish Borders. Nine archaeological trenches totalling 450 linear metres were excavated revealing a shallow sandy topsoil overlying a natural of sands and gravels. A thin alluvial deposit was identified in several of the trenches. Extensive drainage had been undertaken within the development area in the form of numerous clay drains. No archaeologically significant material or features were identified. The remains of a palaeochannel were identified to the east of the site. A comprehensive metal detecting survey was undertaken during the evaluation. A number of metal small finds were recovered these included modern detritus such as a lead washer, ring pulls, tin cans, plastic covered wire and nails. No archaeologically significant material associated with the battle of Darnick was retrieved. No further archaeological work is recommended, although this will need to be confirmed by the Scottish Borders Council Archaeology Service on behalf of the Scottish Borders Council.
