AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned to conduct an archaeological evaluation at Loanhead Road, Loanhead, Midlothian ahead of a residential development. Due to onsite limitations only 957 of an expected 1,525 linear meters was excavated. The trenches revealed a variable soil matrix of fluvial deposits. Two trenches revealed features likely associated with Mayshade/Ashgrove House and its associated cottages. This included brickwork floor surfaces, a truncated sandstone wall and brickwork and cement rectangular structure. Further archaeological works may be necessary, a decision that will be determined by ELCAS.
