Project (1994 - 1995)
An archaeological assessment was undertaken by Scotia Archaeology Limited along the proposed new route of the A1 between Tranent and Haddington. A programme of fieldwalking, excavation and geophysical survey was carried out in 1994 and 1995.
In Area 1 (NT 375 713) a section of the road corridor passes close to the west side of St Clement's Wells, the site of a former industrial village. A long trench measuring 60m by 5m was opened along the edge of the road corridor, near the hamlet. Other than two modern field drains, nothing of archaeological interest was encountered.
