Watching Brief (April 2018)
NT 5476 3420 A watching brief was carried out, April 2018,
at Melrose Abbey during the excavation of foundations for a
new polytunnel within the gardens. The foundation trenches
generally contained deposits of garden soils containing
a mixture of modern finds. Two trenches contained a thin
mortar surface and three trenches contained brick structures,
rubble and modern pipes, probably relating to earlier
glasshouses or other garden structures.
