NT 9067 6784 As part of the survey conducted by Headland Archaeology Ltd on behalf of the National Trust for Scotland on its land at and near St Abb's Head, mentioned above (S Carter 1997), this site was examined and recorded. An undated late 18th century plan of Blackpotts (Scottish Record Office, RHP 14792) shows a group of buildings at this location. This plan does not mark the present farm buildings known as Blackpotts, so these may be an earlier location for Blackpotts. Roy's Military Survey (sheet 9/3 1747-55) marks a settlement at this approximate location called Blackbull. There are no visable surface remains and Headland Archaeology Ltd recommends that disturbance of the area is avoided.
