Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works consisting of a monitored topsoil strip and excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on land at Ravelrig Road, Balerno, Edinburgh (NT 15668 67031) . An initial evaluation was undertaken in August 2016. This revealed a series of archaeological remains including pits, a ditch feature and a concentrated spread of decorated Neolithic ceramics. Subsequent mitigation consisted of the topsoil stripping and excavation of five areas centered on the known archaeology recorded during the evaluation. The excavation revealed thirteen pit features, two of which are possible clay lined ovens. It is probable that these features are an extension of the prehistoric material recorded during the evaluation undertaken in July 2016. No small finds were retrieved during the excavation. A small brick built well was also recorded. The well was late 19th century in date. |
