Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey Scotland East to undertake a programme of archaeological works consisting of an archaeological evaluation in advance of a new housing site at Seafield Road, Bilston. Thirty three trenches totalling 1,738.50 linear metres were excavated revealing a sandy loam topsoil overlying a natural of poorly drained glacial clay sands. The evaluation revealed the remains of a linear field boundary visible on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map; and a small isolated sub circular pit. It is likely that the pit represents activity related to localised post medieval farming practices such as land clearance and managed burning. No further archaeological work is considered necessary. This will need ratification by the East Lothian Council Archaeology Service on behalf of the Midlothian Council. |
