Administrative History The Cleaven Dyke, a linear earthwork approximately 2km in length, was formerly identified as a Roman frontier earthwork. It is now recognized as a linear monument of Neolithic date, combining the characteristics of a cursus monument and a bank barrow. In March 1975 an excavation of a section of the Cleaven Dyke was carried out by H C Adamson on behalf of the Department of the Environment, in advance of the construction of the St Fergus to Bathgate section of the British Gas pipeline.
Accruals No accruals are anticipated.
