NT 6140 7755: The evaluation was carried out to determine the suitability and potential of the site for larger scale excavation at a later date as part of the Traprain Law Environs Project as well as for cultural resource management purposes.
The site has been shown to contain deeply buried and well-preserved deposits associated with the enclosure. The plant macrofossil evidence has excellent potential for reconstructing environment, economy and for dating purposes. The site has a high research potential and would be suitable for larger scale excavation.
Archive to be deposited in the NMRS.
Sponsors: Historic Scotland and University of Durham.
