NT 9197 6089 A trial trenching evaluation was undertaken on 9 December 2010 prior to a proposed residential development at Beanburn. The evaluation covered >10% of the site and focused on a liner cropmark, identified as a pit alignment (NT96SW 35). However, despite the presence of cropmark evidence the evaluation identified no significant archaeological features or artefacts. The work has raised questions regarding the life span of cropmarks following their initial observation, in areas where the ground is still subject to ploughing and highlighted issues relating to cropmark anomalies caused by slight variations in geology.
