NT 240 404 Five 1 x 0.5m test-pits were excavated at the Dookits, a low rock outcrop immediately above the River Tweed approximately 1km downstream from the Popples. Mesolithic stone had been collected from erosive contexts on the popular footpath here (DES 1986, 49). Due to vegetation the excavations were unable to explore a wide area of the outcrop but they suggested that considerable redeposition of material has occurred here since the Mesolithic period.
