Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a watching brief on the excavation of a pipe trench associated with the installation of two biomass buildings at Hope House, Loretto School Pinkie Campus, Musselburgh. The monitoring was undertaken in order to identify and record any archaeological remains that might be exposed during the works. The work was commissioned by Loretto School in response to a planning condition from the East Lothian Council. Monitoring was conducted in January 2016 and observed approximately 0.50m of topsoil overlying an anthropomorphic subsoil containing post-medieval pottery dating to the late 18th Century. A spread of modern building debris was noted at the western end of the trench in between the topsoil and the subsoil and may have been used to level out the lawn. No archaeological features were observed and excavations did not reach the depth of geological deposits. |
