Scottish Borders Smr Note
The investigation was intended to establish the existance or otherwise of the supposed
stretches of a Roman road at two points where it was intersected by the West Linton water supply- Lothian link main pipeline development.
The course of the roman rd is unclear in the vincinity of the water pipe route. An embankment is clearly visible running south-west north-east(NT157 554 some 250m away to the north of Hartside.
The route of the pipeline crosses the presumed path of the roman road below the steep scarps on either side of a small burn located between Carlops and Carlopshill farm. No trace of the roman road was found.
