NT 271 762 An evaluation was undertaken during October 2005 at St Mary's Star of the Sea (NT27NE 1361). Two trenches were excavated, amounting to 32m2 (c 10% of the development area). This second phase of evaluation uncovered a vaulted cellar and a pit containing a sandstone and lime mortar column. Both these features are thought to date from the 18th/19th century. Phase one of the evaluation was undertaken in 2004 (DES 2004, 57) and uncovered evidence of medieval activity and human remains.
Report lodged with Edinburgh SMR and NMRS.
