A programme of archaeological works was required by Hallhill Development Ltd in respect of the construction of residential properties at Hallhill, Dunbar, East Lothian. This stage of works was required to mitigate the archaeological features identified by the preceding archaeological evaluation (Gordon 2008) of the development area.

During the strip, map and sample works a total of fourteen features were recorded and excavated that represent anthropic activity. These features represented medieval activity in the form of sherds of pottery recovered from postholes and a find spot of 40 sherds of medieval pottery. However, due to the lack of any substantial structural features associated with the pottery and any dateable artefacts within the linear and pit features their date and functions remain inconclusive
