This structure report outlines the results of archaeological investigations, undertaken from June to August 2006 and February to March 2007, during the early stages of the redevelopment of Balmerino Farm Steading which stands to the immediate N of the modern precinct of Balmerino Abbey. The work was a continuation of a project started in 1996 but which was shelved at an early stage.

The derelict farm buildings are being converted into residential units by Country Property Developments who commissioned the archaeological investigations during all ground-breaking activities associated with this work. The investigations were undertaken according to conditions imposed by the planning authority, Fife Council, and, in the case of one of the buildings which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, by Historic Scotland.

The excavations were undertaken by John Lewis and Sam Scott of Scotia Archaeology (2006-2007).
