Historic building recording was carried out in March 2004 at the Goshen farm steading, 2km W of Prestonpans. The farm lies next to and is associated with Drummore House and estate. The steading comprised 15 buildings dating from the second half of the 18th to the mid-20th century.
The survey established that the early phases of the steading comprised four farm buildings forming a courtyard to the N with a fifth building to the S. This layout was later extended by the formation of a second courtyard to the S, probably during the first half of the 19th century.
Report to be lodged with East Lothian SMR and the NMRS.
