NT 463 800 An evaluation was carried out in the grounds of the Wagon Inn (NT47NE 101) in May 2005 prior to a housing
development. Nine trenches were excavated, amounting to 127.5m2 (c 5% of the total development area). Two parallel lengths of wall were uncovered at a depth of c 1.1m below the current ground surface. Sherds of pottery recovered from the deposit between the walls suggest that they have medieval origins.
Report lodged with East Lothian SMR and NMRS.

NT 4634 7998 A watching brief was carried out in August 2006 during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new house. A previous evaluation (DES 2005, 50) had demonstrated the presence of the remains of potentially medieval walls at a depth of up to 1.25m below ground level. The watching brief demonstrated that the building foundations were not of a sufficient depth to affect these walls and no features or deposits of archaeological interest were recorded.
