Abstract: |
GUARD Archaeology Limited undertook an archaeological desktop study of an area proposed for development at Houstoun Road, Eliburn in Livingston, West Lothian. The aims of the study were to assess evidence for past human use of the area, its archaeological sensitivity, and potential impact of any development upon the archaeological resource. The assessment found that there are three known cultural heritage sites within the proposed development area. These are the locations of a circular cropmark, which may be the remains of a prehistoric house, an amorphous cropmark and relict field boundaries. While the proposed development area is not considered to be especially archaeologically sensitive, the presence of these cropmarks and, in particular the possible prehistoric dwelling, may indicate the survival of hitherto undiscovered sub-surface archaeological remains. |
