Watching Brief (July 2007)
NT 5326 6810 During July 2007 we conducted an archive appraisal and archaeological watching brief on a site S-E of Gifford Bowling Club on Station Road, Gifford. The work was required prior to the construction of houses because of the presence of a mill lade which was probably in existence by the early 18th century.
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches along the northern boundary of the site. The mill lade was visible in plan at the base of the trench and in both sections. A full written, drawn and photographic record of the feature was made.
Archive to be deposited with RCAHMS. Report to be lodged with East Lothian Council SMR and with RCAHMS.
