An impulse radar survey and test pitting was undertaken by Harry Granger on behalf of AOC Archaeology in July 1990. The survey was undertaken in the garden south of Abbey House and the northern area of the Melrose Abbey car park. The conclusions reached suggested that there was not a substantial survival of below ground archaeology in the survey area. This was later (see separate entry for 1991 Scotia evaluation) confirmed to not be the case.
