A programme of archaeological monitoring was carried out in order to satisfy a condition of the planning consent for the construction of a biomass heating plant at Hopetoun House, Abercorn, West Lothian. The programme of works comprised the monitoring all ground works associated with the laying of the conductor pipes across the gardens to the west and south of Hopetoun House. The work including the excavation of a number of inter-connection trenches 0.8m wide and 1.2m deep totalling over 1000m in length . These trenches revealed a number of stone-lined and brick culverts that were probably associated with the construction phase of Hopetoun House in the early 18th century.
