NT 28900 65142 A watching brief was conducted, in March 2019, during groundworks for the upgrade of the road to Mavisbank House (PIC 156). Several brick and stone structures were recorded, including a brick culvert, a brick drainage sump with drainpipe, and a brick gully with stone kerb running along the eastern edge of the trackway, along with a fragment of the original metalled surface of the road. These features are likely to be Victorian or later in date and relate to estate management at Mavisbank. The features have been recorded and preserved in situ.
