Archaeological Evaluation (16 April 2007 - 27 April 2007)
NT 240 620 An evaluation was carried out between 16–27 April 2007 at Greenlaw Mains in advance of a proposed residential development. The area lies in close proximity to Mauricewood and Greenlaw Collieries, both of which appear on the 25" 1st Edition (1894) OS map. Fifteen back-filled mineshafts were uncovered during the evaluation, but there were no other features or deposits of archaeological significance.
