Archaeological Evaluation (January 2019)
NT 4058 7145 In January 2019 an evaluation tool place near Carlaverock Farm, Tranent took place.
A probable Iron Age enclosure ditch, identified from cropmarks, was located. Several post-medieval field boundaries were also identified across site, some of which appear on historic mapping. Twentieth century mineshafts were also present, and disturbance across site reflected the associated industrial works.
