NT 48029 82700 In December 2013 East Lothian Council Amenity Services constructed free standing steps to allow pedestrian access into the church. The work consisted of the excavation of a 1.9 x 1.4m area to a depth of 0.38m. Gravel and some of the excavated topsoil was deposited into the trench to form bedding for the steps. An investigation consisting of the removal of the topsoil and gravel, and recording of the exposed stratigraphy was carried out on the 17 March 2014. A 0.28m deep topsoil of dark brown sandy silt was recorded overlying a light brown silty sand
subsoil. The subsoil was only exposed at the N end of the trench, the lower step. Both the topsoil and subsoil contained small fragments of bone and small stones. A number of disarticulated human bones were recovered
from the redeposited topsoil and reburied.
