Watching Brief (23 September 2010)
NT 5020 1500
A watching brief was undertaken on 23 September 2010 during ground-breaking works associated with the insertion of fuel storage tanks at the site of the former Dangerfields and Langlands Mills. A single trench, 12m x 6m, was excavated to a maximum depth of 4m and revealed a number of small stone foundations below a large amount of demolition material and a single rubble stone wall. All of the features recorded are thought to relate to the 19th- and 20th-century mills that were previously located on the site.

Watching Brief
Headland Archaeology were required to undertake a watching brief on ground breaking works associated with the insertion of fuel storage tanks at the site of the former Dangerfields and Langlands Mills, Commercial Road, Hawick. The work was commissioned by Halcrow Yolles on behalf of Sainsburys and followed previous phases of desk based assessment, historic building recording and trial trenching. A single large trench was excavated and revealed a number of stone foundations below a large amount of demolition material and a single rubble stone wall. At no point did the excavations reveal any of the extant mill lade that had been revealed during the previous evaluation phase.
