NS31NW 26 c. 311 193
Roger de Scalbroc (late 12th century) gave a salt-works at Greenan to the monks of Melrose Abbey. The salt pans were situated next to Greenan Castle (NS 311 193) (A I Dunlop 1953).
J A Wade 1861; Munimenta de Melros No.66
Nothing significant was noted along the coastal strip near Greenan Castle. The most likely area for salt-working would seem to be the small, shallow bay on the W side of the Castle.
Visited by OS (JRL) 2 October 1980
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. The indeterminate remains that are noted under NS31NW 146 may be connected with these saltworks.
