NT 005 872 A watching brief with limited excavation was carried out during the replacement of a sewer pipe that ran through the designed landscape of Valleyfield House, paying particular attention to the walled garden. Four small trenches were opened in the walled garden prior to pipe-laying operations to record features likely to be damaged. Both entrances to the walled garden were recorded as well as the basal steps of a central stairway and the edge of an ornamental canal. The grounds of Valleyfield House were designed by Sir Humphrey Repton in 1801 and are the only example of his work in Scotland. Valleyfield House was demolished earlier this century and the grounds are now largely neglected and overgrown.
