Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works consisting of trial trenching, was required by Pollock Hammond Ltd on behalf of Mr James Anderson ahead of a planning application for development at land on Grahamsdyke Lane, Bo'ness (NT 00822 81269). The development will consist of the erection of two new dwellings and associated infrastructure. A programme of archaeological works is required prior to submission of a planning application due to the Sites location within a World Heritage Site. Four trial trenches totalling 30 linear meters were excavated across the site. A shallow depression with darker soils, evidence of burning and a scrap of lead was uncovered in Trench 1. The date and function of this feature is unknown, however it is likely to be modern disturbance. No further archaeological remains were encountered during the trial trenching. Given the findings of the evaluation it is unlikely that further mitigation measures will be required. This will need confirmation by Falkirk Council, which is advised on archaeological matters by Geoff Bailey of Falkirk Community Trust. |
