Headland Archaeology undertook an assessment of archaeological issues affecting a proposed area of development at Drylawhill, East Linton.

This 24 ha site on the north side of the village has been identified by East Lothian Council as a potential site for approximately 350 houses.

None of the archaeological features have been subject to field evaluation so the level of knowledge about specific features is low. However, the majority of the development site lies within the limits of a scheduled ancient monument and therefore the archaeological features are, de facto, of national importance.
