Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to a proposed housing development at Cockpen Farm, Newtongrange, Midlothian (NGR: NT 32655 63762). The evaluation required a 10% trenching sample of the proposed 8 hectare development area. The development is situated on terraced farmland formerly associated with the 17th century Cockpen House and the category C listed building of Cockpen Farm which dates to the 18th and 19th centuries. Trenching revealed predominant drift geology of glacial clays with occasional areas of sands and gravels with outcrops of sandstone. These deposits were cut by 19th century clay drains set at 5.0 m intervals. The natural was overlain by a shallow improved plough soil. Archaeologically significant features were limited to a former boundary wall and the remains of a farm track dating to the late 1800's. Numerous sherds of 19th century ceramics were observed within the former plough soil. The area associated with the proposed site of the 17th century Cockpen House was unable to be evaluated due to the presence of live services. Given the nature of the archaeological features and the level of recording undertaken no further works are considered necessary. This will be determined by Mr Andrew Robertson of East Lothian Council Archaeology Service (ELCAS) who advise Midlothian Council on archaeological matters.
