NS 5089 7101 to NS 5097 7149 Archaeological trial trenching in September 1997 close to the site of Knappers (NMRS NS57SW 22), a Neolithic and Early Bronze Age cemetery excavated in the 1930s, revealed traces of prehistoric activity possibly related to the cemetery. A single sherd of beaker pottery was recovered from a small pit. Other pits were present, one of which was densely packed with charcoal. A few isolated post- and stake-holes and a curving, shallow trench, possibly the slot trench of a structure, were present. Palaeobotanical samples were taken from the area of Cleddans Burn for pollen analysis.
