NT 548 342 After the excavation of a grave for the burial of the Duke of Buccleuch close to the external NE corner of Melrose Abbey Church, a brief archaeological examination was undertaken on 10 September 2007. Two main layers were visible, suggesting two phases of activity, thought to be building and/or construction, between which was a narrow layer which may have been levelling over the earlier phase.
