Archaeology Notes

A rapid coastal survey was undertaken by GUARD of the S shore of the Firth of Forth from Dunbar to Stirling and along the N shore of the Forth to the Fife border. The area from Dunbar to St Abb's Head was covered by visits to two specific areas, Chapel Point/Skateraw and St Abb's Head itself. The coastal strip extending from the high water mark to 50m inland was examined. A gazetteer of all sites including listed buildings, designed landscapes, scheduled and unscheduled monuments was produced. The survey covered seven local authorities, Clackmannanshire, Edinburgh City, East Lothian, Falkirk, Scottish Borders, Stirling and West Lothian. The survey identified a number of new sites. Full details of the survey can be consulted in the report held by the NMRS.
