Abstract: |
Watching briefs or controlled monitored topsoil stripping was undertaken at six locations during re-routing of gas pipelines, ahead of the construction of the Baillieston to Newhouse section of the M8 motorway, east of Glasgow. The scheme also included improvements to Junction 5 of the M74 at Raith, and the site of a new Transmission Regulation Station near Shawhead Junction. Ten areas of archaeological remains were identified, ranging from a possible cist burial; undated, though possibly prehistoric, pits; run-rig furrows; a post-medieval estate boundary wall, and post-medieval or modern features of the agricultural or industrial landscape, including drains, a trackway and boundary ditches. |
