Activities

Field Visit (1996)

Viewed from the bottom of the cliff a U-shaped ditch was seen cut into the soil and rock and now grass covered. The ditch appeared to be 2m in depth and 2m wide at the top narrowing to 1m at the bottom. This may be associated with the fort NT 68 SW 30.

Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 26th February 1996.

Note (17 March 2015)

The ditch identified in 1996 is likely to be that relating to the chapel and burial ground described under NT68SW 17 and excavated in 2005 and 2008.
