Archaeology Notes

NT18NE 40 188 856

See also NT18NE 85.00.

Excavation by Edinburgh University Archaeological Society on a rubble site (probably from the rebuilding of Hillside House c. 1801) revealed a well-laid cobbled path running diagonally up the slope to the MO for c.20m. A large number of sherds of glazed and unglazed medieval pottery was found overlying the cobbling and apparently washed down the hill. The sherds have been deposited with St John Bosco's School, Hillside.
