NT 54885 34204 The excavation of a tree pit for the planting of the new Buccleuch Apple Tree was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd at Melrose Abbey, Scottish Borders, as part of the Minor Archaeological Services Call-off Contract. The new apple tree will replace one that had been planted to commemorate the life of the 8th Duke of Buccleuch. The original tree was cut down on health & safety grounds in 2016. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were uncovered during the hand excavation of the tree pit.
