Abstract: |
GUARD Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation and metal-detecting survey on land around the buildings of the former Roslin Institute in September in advance of re-development. During the evaluation a number of sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from a small feature in Trench 9. Following discussions with the client and Midlothian Council a small excavation was carried out in November to investigate the feature uncovered in the evaluation trench. The excavation uncovered an extensive linear feature which split to form two termini at the northern extent along with three small pits and modern field drains. More sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the fill of the linear feature which may represent the base of a ditch. |
