In September 2017, Scottish Water commissioned GUARD Archaeology Limited to undertake a desk-based assessment of the route for a proposed water pipeline between Gogar, Edinburgh and Broxburn, West Lothian (NGR: NT 17655 71604 to NGR NT 09803 72294).

A desk-based assessment (DBA) carried out on the development area found that two nationally important cultural heritage sites Millburn Tower IGDL (Site 2) and Newliston IGDL (Site 14) were located directly on the proposed route of the water pipeline. The assessment concluded that, following re-instatement of the ground, the proposal would have no significant direct effect on the Inventory Garden and Designed Landscapes of Millburn Tower and Newliston.
