Watching Brief (26 May 2010 - 27 May 2010)
NT 5530 8558 A watching brief was carried out 26–27 May 2010 during repairs to the West Quay of North Berwick Harbour. The removal of a crane pillar revealed a red sandstone block, its surface augmented by a later concrete skim, overlying a core of fractured stone in a sandy matrix. Away from disturbance associated with the crane pillar, the harbour wall appears to have been constructed of large, roughly hewn, sandstone blocks packed in mortar-rich sand with smaller, more carefully dressed, sandstone blocks forming the exterior and upper surface.
