Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Hackland+Dore Architects Ltd on behalf of their client Hart Builders (Edinburgh) Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological works consisting of an archaeological evaluation in advance of a new housing development at Kirkhill Road, Penicuik, Midlothian. Eight trenches totalling 175 linear metres were excavated within an area of former playing field, revealing an imported sandy loam topsoil overlying a natural of sands and gravels. A deposit of made ground was recorded in the north-west corner of the site. This was related to localised infilling undertaken in conjunction with limited escarpment in order to create and extend the former playing field. No archaeologically significant finds or features were observed. No further archaeological work is considered necessary. This will need ratification by the East Lothian Council Archaeology Service on behalf of Midlothian Council. |
