Activities

Excavation (1983 - 1984)

Excavations were undertaken by WJ Lindsay in the Autumn of 1983 and Spring of 1984 at Linlithgow Friary in advance of proposed development.

in addition to evidence for the medieval Carmelite Friary, the excavations revealed evidence for prehistoric occupation, much of which i likely to relate to the neolithic period.

Publication Account (1988)

The earliest occupation was of pre-medieval date and consisted of several gullies and a large number of post-pits, but no obvious plans of structures were identified. Sherds of coarse and of burnished hand-made pottery were recovered from associated levels.
