(NT 666 777) Evaluation work undertaken during October and November 2001, in advance of upgrading of the A1 near Dunbar, revealed significant archaeological sites in two areas. Excavation of these sites took place through December 2001 to March 2002.
A pit and post-hole defined circular structure was situated at the N end of Area 2, approximately 6m N of the northern pit alignment, and ran under the baulks. It measured 19.5m N-S and 20m E-W, with 70 pits and post-holes in all. They were circular or oval in plan and ranged from 0.3-0.6m in diameter, 0.07-0.52m in depth, and were spaced at intervals of 0.3-1.0m apart.
