Standing Building Recording (April 2011 - October 2011)
NT 920 672 A standing building survey was undertaken, April–October 2011, at St Abbs Harbour to record all buildings prior to alteration or demolition for the new Marine Research Station. The structures recorded included a complex of buildings consisting of a corrugated iron clad toilet, a former Fish House, Rosecroft Cottage and Fisherman’s Sheds (1–8). These buildings had all been built against the Category B listed harbour wall, and Rosecroft Cottage was the only surviving building from the late 19th century. Four other 20th century fisherman’s sheds and a garage were also recorded. A watching brief carried out during groundworks associated with construction work did not record any finds or features of archaeological significance.

Desk Based Assessment (4 May 2011)
A collection of buildings within the Vennel area of St Abbs comprising a former fishermans toilet and fish house, Rosecroft Cottage and a collection of modern fishermans huts, were the subject of a desk-based study to place the buildings in their historical context. The work was carried out in advance of the construction of a new marine research station.
