Weather conditions were even worse than in 1978 and there was a poor crop-response, except in eastern coastal areas south of Stonehaven. Nevertheless, useful discoveries were made in Fife and Lothian, particularly of pit—alignments associated with hill-forts and settlements. In Fife the known distribution of square barrows was extended by the discovery of new examples. In all, about 300 sites were recorded.
A catalogue of sites recorded in 1977 was published in December 1978 and preparation of the catalogue of 1978 material is well advanced. prints of sites recorded in recent seasons may be inspected in the National Monuments Record of Scotland.
