Watching Brief (25 October 2013)
NT 2780 7408 A watching brief was carried out on 25 October 2013 during an excavation over drains and services on the E and S sides of Meadowbank Lodge. The excavation recorded evidence of recent landscaping and drainage efforts in the form of levelling material and pipes. It seems likely that the property was constructed on an artificial
terrace or platform over a massive dump of stone. These in turn probably represent measures to raise the property footings above naturally wet and boggy ground at the foot of the adjacent slope.
