Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation on a temporary car park located to the south of Dalmeny, South Queensferry. Historic mapping had indicated the presence of the 19th century Dalmeny Row workers' cottages at the location of the car park. The excavation of 5 trial trenches amounting to 50m linear revealed the site had been truncated with no evidence of the cottages identified. The spoil from the initial topsoil strip was also inspected and no evidence in the form of bricks or building materials was evident. The depth of the excavated trenches varied between 0.35 and 1m and in all cases exposed the geological subsoil. |
