This report presents the results of an archaeological investigation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group within the Scheduled Monument of Dalvreck at Davreck Farm near Athelstaneford, East Lothian (NGR: NT 50533 78307). The investigation consisted of the hand excavation of a one metre square test pit within the footprint of a proposed pole re-instatement. The excavation revealed 0.25 m of active plough soil overlying a glacial colluvium ranging between 0.40 m to 0.50 m in depth. An older soil deposit was present within the eastern third of the pit, 0.15 m in depth. No archaeologically significant material was observed. No further works are considered necessary.
