Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation in relation to a proposed housing development at Site 51B, Stobhill, Gorebridge, Midlothian (NGR: NT 3427 62920). The evaluation required a 10% trenching sample of the proposed 1 hectare development area, formerly used as playing fields associated with the now demolished Greenhall High School. A significant level of ground reduction and levelling had been undertaken during the creation of the playing fields. This had removed all formerly in situ deposits. Trenching revealed a natural of glacial clays cut by modern drains set at 2.0 m intervals. The natural was overlain by deposits of re-deposited clay, cinder and red bleas. No archaeologically significant features or material was recovered during the evaluation. No further works are considered necessary. This will be decided by Ms Helena Grey of East Lothian Council Archaeology Service (ELCAS) who advise Midlothian Council on archaeological matters. |
